Okay, I went to the site and ran this tally through the calculator twice:
M a m b
m a M b
Both times it told me that m won, a came in second and M came in third.
I
confess I do not understand this, as it certainly appears that the votes
for M and m were exactly equivalent. Notice the only difference between
this vote and the one previously discussed is the addition of a
guaranteed loser in b. I am not trying to be a nitpicker. But I still
have
problems with how the vote turns out, depending on the number of entries,
and a random factor. By adding an apparently ignorable loser, the outcome
is
changed from 'a' winning to one in which apparently either 'm' or
'M' can win, depending on the random factor mentioned in the Eppley
calculator.
