Actually `e^(sqrt(n) pi)` is very close to being an integer for a couple of different `n`s, including 67 and 163. For 163 it's much closer to an integer, but for 67 you get something you can easily check in double precision floats is close to an integer, so I thought it worked better as a joke answer :)

FYI, the reason you get these almost integers is related to the `n`s being Heegner numbers, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heegner_number.
