Myself, and some people at work are entering the [Prospect Cup](http://www.bimg.co.uk), our tem name is going to be “TriPent”, ity was that, Π, or Φ. we figured we could use anything we liked as long as it was printable, or could in soem way be represented, Φ is 1.618(0339) and π is 3.141(5927).
For those of you who dont know the prospect cup is a copmpertition where over the course of 6 weeks you pretend to run a company, compeating in a common market against four other teams, the most profertible team wins that round, there are two rounds, against a serlection of four teams drawn from a pool of over fifty. after two rounds, if you have done well you stand a chance of going through to the next round.
