Question: An integral needs to be calculated.

In the attached file, I want to calculate the integral Q1. Numerically, this is easy to do in Maple. For theoretical reasons, the exact result pi/e is known. However, a contradiction arises between command lines (4) and (5). Command (6) is also unsuccessful, as its exact result is unknown. What am I doing wrong?test.mw

Q1 := int(sin(Pi*x)/(x^x*(1-x)^(1-x)), x = 0 .. 1)

int(sin(Pi*x)/(x^x*(1-x)^(1-x)), x = 0 .. 1)

evalf[100](Q1)
