Correct.

Yes I was being evil on this one and looking for the superscript 2.

You, sir, are a dick. A lovable dick that we are happy to have on our forum, but a dick nonetheless.

Hey, man, "^2" is the standard non-extended ascii representation of ².

What about the guys reading the forums on the Commodore 64's?

[Ack]

And this reminds me, who all has gotten their 50 points? I thought somebody had already. What happens when you reach 50? Does your score reset and you start again, or are you asked to stop playing?

Nobody has gotten 50 points yet. I've heard rumors that your score resets to 0 if you score more than 63 points, though.

Thats a good question how does it end. Once one person hits 50 is the gameover and 2nd place is the next highest points or is it when two people get 50 for 1st then 2nd.

Well, it is officially written Odyssey².

Well, ^2 is the way to indicate a square if you cannot input a superscript 2 on a computer. But it isn't an Odyssey Squared. Its just a superscript 2. Hooray for marketers!

It's actually used for all superscripts, not just superscripts denoting raising a value to a power. In LaTeX, it is used for pretty much every superscript possible, from the upper bound of an integral or summation to specifying norms to denoting indices in vectors. Whether or not "^2" indicates a square or some other use of a superscript is purely a matter of context.

From the front page:

- 50 points total to win the game (the first one to reach 50 points will be the first prize winner, second place will also race up to 50 points total).
