Using the reflection formula for the zeta function, one can also rewrite the equality in terms of the Gamma function as Gamma(z) = (2^(z-1))*(Pi^z)*sec((Pi*z)/2).
There are infinitely many solutions on the real axis and on the critical line.
The solutions on the critical line are the gram points and this is the first positive gram point.
There are 12 complex solutions apart from these out of which 3 are unique:
8.990914533614919... + i*4.510594140699146...
13.162787864991035... + i*2.580464971850669...
16.478090665944547... + i*0.679406009477847...
