There are many ways to count votes in Single Transferable Vote elections.
Voting
If a class of children were choosing representatives, say, they could line-up behind the candidate of their choice. They would all know that each candidate only needs a certain number of classmates to vote for them to be elected. So some of those standing in line for a candidate who has more than enough votes would choose to not waste their vote and would instead move to another line to help someone else to win. Naturally, they would not move to a line that already has enough to win. Likewise, those childr...
tl;dr We're a class of children choosing representatives.
So hang on... seeing as everyone will put @GraceNote as their first choice, the second choice becomes an impromptu first choice.
I guess there's a tradeoff to be made between simplicity and fairness
oh well!
So all in all @GraceNote even if you get all 2nd votes and 0 1st votes, you can still be elected. There though needs to be one person with enough 1st choice to win on his own.
Whomever mentioned Beyond Good and Evil earlier today, apparently the Xbox 360 version of BG&E HD now has a release date of March 2nd, and a price of 800 MS points.
I remember playing a game with robots in it. the robot you played as was kinda blocky lookin. not sleek like futuristic robots. almost junkyardy. your boss was a robot who smoked a cigarette. and you had guns and fought other robots. i remember the scenery. there are i think multi player levels ...
Thank you for your help on the other puzzle from the stone
I am now working on "7:9 Letterhead" ( http://www.scarecrowsfield.com/index.php?page=showpuzzle&site=1&group=1&left=7&right=4 )
I have one "close" (pretty obvious) and have tried a gazillion answers but I think I'm compl...
I gave this platformer another try today. Damn you, Daniel. Luckily I fared bad enough that I quickly gave up — I mean, I couldn't even make my dreams come true!
I then turned on Youtube looking for videos of impressive runs by people with too much time on their hands trying harder than me...
Wanted to pick your brain on the 90th percentile stuff. I don't completely grok how to use the equation you gave me to get the desired result and I wanted to give it at least an honest attempt.
.5^n is the probability of any single set of coin tosses. I think I'm confusing myself by assuming ordering is important to this question.
(n! / ((n*.6)! * (n*.4)!)) * .5^(n*.6) * .5^(n*.4) Would get you what you're asking, but I'm not sure if I am approaching this how you're intending me to do so.
After beating one of the legacy bosses (Zoma, for instance), I'm offered the choice to let the boss have the experience from the battle. What are the advantages to doing this? Is the boss the more likely to drop rare treasure?
I'm enjoying my newly minted copy of Global Agenda from the recent steam sale, but I can't help but notice that the documentation on the game is rather sparse -- a far cry from the encyclopedias of WoW-everything I've been spoiled to have had.
I see a lot of peple spamming the in-game trade chat...
By far the type of creature I struggle the most with in Dead Space 2 is the Pack, the gray children who attack you in swarms. Whenever I use Stasis I only seem to hit one or two and the rest end up swarming me, and then I have problems killing them effectively. What's a good strategy for dealing ...
Hello there
I play UFO / X-Com since its out now. And i was always equipping a weapons on the right arm slot and a grenade in the left had slot.
On the most Longplay videos, people are equiping grenades on the belt and take them from there when needed (what does coast Timeunits)
Why is this? I...
I am really struggling on capturing cities, especially on smaller islands. Boats seem to do such little damage and getting units across the sea, early game especially, is very dangerous because of the number of barbarians.
What are the best tactics, units and numbers for capturing cities dependi...
So obviously, it should be used against mothership/carrier/BCs and stuff like that, is it still good against smaller units?
Also, as I've just discovered, the corruption ability works against all units, not only air (!), which is awesome, and brings up other possibilities like corrupting thors o...
This is not obvious from the FAQ. Are (logic) puzzle games on-topic?
Although some logic puzzles are made on paper, most of them are available as computer games (even the ones that are also made on paper).
So, for instance, Lights Out was on-topic (but some people thought it should have gone to...
@YiJiang I'm just testing. I don't really want to code anything before I know my approach works.
According to this, gaming.stackexchange.com/election{id}/votes should return a JSON array, but it returns []. Well, it is an array, but it's an empty one.
I know that it's probably unintended that the Primary voting scores were leaked by the API, but I think if you're going to remove it, then at least make it official, so I won't have to wonder if it's just a transient bug.
Anyway, some background: It's possible to collect the score and up/downvo...
Hi,
I am really concerned that my XBOX kinnect cds will get damaged from overuse. Installing the games to HDD is not an option because i have 4GB version and there isent much of space left in it. So what are my options? Can i just copy the disk to a blank DVD?
Thanks,
