hehe, funny but faulty logic. To pick up an object you must first walk all the way there, not half. :)

At a quick glance i am fairly sure you cannot put xe^x in the form

x= .....

the e^x and the x are not reconcilable.

You could turn it into a differential equation -> y' - y - e^x =  0 but this does not really help!?!

I could however be wrong, it has been known to happen once or twice (an hour).
