  1. The general math problem —

    50 DIVIDED [2 OR MORE PARTS] VERSUS 49 UNITED.

    AKA 3 [OR MORE] CHOICES PROBLEM.

    SOLVED BY CONDORCET IN 1780S (REPEAT 1780S) — A MERE 220 PLUS YEARS AGO.
    ———
    MODIFIED CONDORCET —

    EXPANDED MATH —

    N CHOICES.

    VOTE FOR N-1 USING NUMBER VOTES, MOVE LOWEST LOSER VOTES TO LEFT.
