@packbat yeah that's a good definition of it (though there are two solutions to that, e = 2.718... and e = 0)

re: cheerful and approving expression of joking frustration re: bonus round spoilers re: math poll 4/4 BONUS ROUND
@packbat to be perfectly clear it's arguably not a solution as 0⁰ is an indeterminate form

@Felthry true! still, though, if we were making a Matt Parker-style enthusiastic maths video, we'd want to bring it up

@Felthry I'd count it if you can define the natural logarithm without invoking e
re: math poll 4/4 BONUS ROUND
@octopus how about "the unique nonzero number e such that the derivative of e^x with respect to x is e^x", instead, then, because i'm not too sure how to do that one

@Felthry Our first thought was that the derivative of e^x is equal to e^x - it's very calculus but it's also where our head immediately goes with regard to it.
