that's e^x. Pretty much any undergrad in any math related field wouldknow that (i think it's calc 2 or calc 3). Only people in engineering would think it's difficult. |

It would be hilarious if they left the door unlocked and put that there to see how long people spent trying to get it. |

Good point CodeJockey.
I think they just made up a number. Even if the code was 202, they should've said x=5.308.

sum(x^n/n!,n=0..inf) = e^(x) = e^(5.306) (if i read it right; really blurry) = 201.54 ~ 202 |

This is just like the door knocker to the Ravenclaw common room.
You have to answer a riddle before you can get in.

Isn't the answer 0? Because n=0? |

AHA! They didn't expect the econometrics student to know how to do that problem, now to use their precious study room for economics! muahaha |

That's really easy. Sum(x^n/n!)=e^x. Too blurry to make out what to plug in for x, but it would take about 30 seconds to figure out the code with a calculator. |

There is no part of my brain remotely capable of understanding what this is about. It's just not there. |

202... that's the Taylor series of the natural exponential, so it should be exp(x).
The problem is I can't read very well what x is supposed to be... if it's 5.306, then the code is 202 |

Catch-22! I need to study to understand the equation, but I can't get into study hall until I understand the equation! Ermagerd! |
