Third place play-off

Angela Smith beat Vicky Hoffman 9-1 9-7 9-10 9-1

gollark: Forming a country is probably the wrong approach, since you won't.

gollark: Forming countries is actually hard, and school systems are very unoptimized to teach this way.

gollark: Stop hating them.

gollark: There are things between linear and exponential, which is important sometimes.

gollark: ... the point is that if the thing which is varying is in the exponent it's "exponential", if the exponent is constant it's "polynomial" or something.
