Sorry i was not trying to troll. I was at a meetup and that was a picture
of the company hack day trophy. I instantly thought of this email chain and
hack day prizes. What could be a more glorious prize then your name on a
trophy, there for years after you leave the company.

Btw i do have a quad core phone. Were you able to determine this from image
meta data, email headers, or was it just a lucky guess? Either way i am
impressed and at the same time scared.
