Thanks for pointing this out. I've modified my test program to dump defeats, and to mention the ratio of the eliminated options, and I've verified that it gives the same results as before. Here's the full set of examples ballots from http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2002/debian-vote-200211/msg00321.html with those intermediate steps listed: ______________________________________________________________________ A requires 2:1 majority; D is the default option 3 ABD 1 BDA 1 DAB D defeats A 4:3 A defeats B 4:1 B defeats D 4:1 eliminate 4:1 D defeats A 4:3 tie between B and D ______________________________________________________________________ A requires 2:1 majority; D is the default option 60 ABD 30 BAD 10 DBA B defeats D 90:10 A defeats D 90:20 A defeats B 60:40 A wins ______________________________________________________________________ S requires 2:1 majority; T requires 2:1 majority; D is the default option 60 STD 50 TDS D defeats S 100:60 T defeats D 110:0 S defeats T 60:50 eliminate 60:50 D defeats S 100:60 T defeats D 110:0 T wins ______________________________________________________________________ A requires 2:1 majority; D is the default option 60 ABD 30 BDA 10 DBA D defeats A 80:60 B defeats D 90:10 A defeats B 60:40 eliminate 60:40 D defeats A 80:60 B defeats D 90:10 B wins ______________________________________________________________________ A requires 2:1 majority; N is the default option 4 cAbN 1 cNAb 3 bcNA 3 AbcN N defeats A 8:7 c defeats N 11:0 b defeats N 10:1 A defeats b 8:3 c defeats A 8:3 b defeats c 6:5 eliminate 6:5 N defeats A 8:7 c defeats N 11:0 b defeats N 10:1 A defeats b 8:3 c defeats A 8:3 c wins ______________________________________________________________________ Z is the default option 40 A 25 B 35 ZBA Z defeats B 35:25 B defeats A 60:40 A defeats Z 40:35 eliminate 40:35 Z defeats B 35:25 B defeats A 60:40 Z wins ______________________________________________________________________ Z is the default option 40 AZB 25 B 35 ZBA Z defeats B 75:25 B defeats A 60:40 A defeats Z 40:35 eliminate 40:35 Z defeats B 75:25 B defeats A 60:40 Z wins ______________________________________________________________________ A requires 3:1 majority; F is the default option 70 ABF 30 BAF 10 AFB A defeats F 110:0 B defeats F 100:10 A defeats B 80:30 A wins ______________________________________________________________________ D is the default option 25 DAB 30 BDA 35 ABD D defeats A 55:35 B defeats D 65:25 A defeats B 60:30 eliminate 60:30 D defeats A 55:35 B defeats D 65:25 B wins ______________________________________________________________________ A requires 3:1 majority; D is the default option 20 BDA 10 DAB 80 ABD D defeats A 90:80 B defeats D 100:10 A defeats B 90:20 eliminate 90:20 D defeats A 90:80 B defeats D 100:10 B wins ______________________________________________________________________ FYI, -- Raul
