This will store the max value(s) in a list. In case of a tie, you can
take the first value in the list, but it may be differe

I have three items in a dict, like this:
the_dict = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}
but the vals could be anything. I want to configure something else
based on the "winner" of such a dict, with these rules:
