Warren, your puzzle 91 doesn't do diddley to explain it (it just re-
asks the question). from all that your puzzle says, i could
*completely* *reasonably* come to the conclusion that
C-1
SUM{ C!/n! }
n=1
is the correct answer and that C! is not correct. Warren, i have
also served on the faculty of a university, and a non-answer like
that does not qualify as an answer.
but Kristofer's answer is what i was looking for. i hadn't expected
(because there isn't an IRV in the states that requires it) that all
candidates MUST be ranked as an assumption, that explains the C!.
so i got my answer, thanks Kristofer.
