We Pragmaticists (some would say "abject pragmaticists") advocate for a compromise solution between Zeroastrians and Unitarians by taking h=½ as the fundamental constant. It satisfies several interesting identities involving other constants, like i^i=e^(-hπ), ∫e^(x^(1/h))dx=π^h, ∑n^(-1/h)=hπ^(1/h)/3, the celebrated inequality (a+b)h≥(ab)^h or the curious fact that 1/h is the smallest prime number.


Pragmaticists brought a fraction to an integer competition and lost


they lost the competition, but in the end it was them who paid the prize


Ah, but they won the Pi versus Tau competition ;-)
