- Notes
- In the NEC record book,[2] Marist is listed as playing against LIU in the opening round, yet according to the New York Times[3] the game was played by St. Francis (NY) and LIU. Additionally, St. Francis (NY) finished ahead of Marist in the NEC North Division, further supporting the New York Times article.
gollark: Not *exactly*. There is a nonzero chance that you somehow completely failed to notice that it had an 8 on it and it lands on that, or that the dice is somehow swapped out for one with 8s on it as you roll it, or that sort of thing.
gollark: But I want them to implement self replicating spreadsheet cells to run some weird cellular automaton to run a Turing machine to parse HTML.
gollark: I don't know if it has HTTP capability, but it could totally sort of do HTML/CSS if it is.
gollark: Excel is Turing-complete isn't it?
gollark: I don't think people do much of the time, though.
