Situation A you vote for 3rd party

  • candidate T gets t votes
  • candidate B gets b-1 votes
  • candidate 3 gets 1 vote

candidate 3 loses for sure winner is biggest of ‘t’ and ‘b-1’. Which we can rewrite as biggest of ‘t+1’ and ‘b’

Where is my money?!

Define your variables. Wtf is "b," the number of votes candidate B would have, plus one for no reason? Why is candidate T getting t votes and not t-1 votes? Terrible math, try again.
