And whoosh, I've been plopped right back into ninth year math. Oh, logarithms, how I've not missed you.

I'm not so keen on having someone with less votes win the competition, regardless of length. I think that this should decide who gets to pick the theme if it comes down to a tie between two or more entries, and that we'd use (somewhat enlarged) brackets so that the difference doesn't come down to piddling words.
