# Mathematical Problem

In a single-elimination tournament consisting of $2^{9}=512$ teams, there is a strict ordering on the skill levels of the teams, but Joy does not know that ordering. The teams are randomly put into a bracket and they play out the tournament, with the better team always beating the worse team. Joy is then given the results of all 511 matches and must create a list of teams such that she can guarantee that the third-best team is on the list. What is the minimum possible length of Joy's list?

## Instructions

Solve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`.

**Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process.

### Guidelines

- Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression
- Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed)
- Be precise and clear in your answer
- The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for

### Example

If the problem asks "What is 2 + 2?", your answer file should contain:

```
4
```

Your answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system.
