How are the triangle numbers not quadratic?
Sure looks quadratic to me.
Tbf, you can fit a quadratic polynomial to any 3 points. But triangular numbers are certainly an aesthetically pleasing choice. (Maybe call it “triangular voting”?)
If you include the implied (0,0) point, then the quadratic still fits.
Wait I’m a moron and the thing I checked was actually whether it was an exponential function, sorry.
