Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, that solution is not applicable to my 
situation. My example is a simplification of an issue I came across. The actual 
scenario deals with a much larger number of candidates so that a 
pairwise-results matrix would not be a picture readily digested by a human, and 
the Kemeny method would be impossible to compute.
