Hi, I'm going to walk through these examples and apply my preferred algorithm of "if an option wins but doesn't satisfy the supermajority requirement against the default option, drop it from the ballot and repeat". The ones I've deleted stay the same. Two of the results you get make no sense to me -- see below. Raul Miller: > ______________________________________________________________________ > > A requires 2:1 majority; D is the default option > 3 ABD > 1 BDA > 1 DAB > A defeats D 3:2 A defeats B 4:1 B defeats D 4:1 A wins 3:2, drop it: B defeats D 4:1 > tie between B and D B wins > ______________________________________________________________________ > > Z is the default option > 40 A > 25 B > 35 ZBA > > B defeats A 60:40 > A defeats Z 40:35 > Z defeats B 35:25 > > eliminate 40:35 eliminate 35:25 (why would you eliminate 40:35 ?) > Z wins B wins > ______________________________________________________________________ > > D is the default option > 25 DAB > 30 BDA > 35 ABD > > B defeats D 65:25 > A defeats B 60:30 > D defeats A 55:35 > > eliminate 60:30 eliminate 55:35 (why would you eliminate 60:30 ?) > B wins A wins -- Matthias Urlichs | noris network AG | http://smurf.noris.de/
