1) I expected from you more than just play on words, but rather an
advice on how to make Mathematica compute an elementary integral.

2) I did compute this particular integral and I challenge you and
anybody else to give me an integral, which is computable as indefinite
in terms of elementary functions, so that I couldn't handle it by
myself.
