   Re: The code_001 still has a problem.

   From: chanzhaiming@gmail.com   
      
   Example:   
      
   Suppose there are 10,000 voters.  60% or 6000 do not   
   like Richard or Thomas.  And in the remaining 40% or   
   4000, 55% like Thomas, 45% like Richard.   
      
   (1) If this 6000 do not go to vote, then Thomas gets   
   4000*55%=2200, Richard gets 4000*45%=1800, Thomas wins.   
      
   (2) If 15% of this 6000, that is 900, go to vote.  But   
   they pick one randomly.  Usually according to the   
   distribution law, Richard or Thomas will get   
   approximately same point.  Let's assume Richard gets 467   
   and Thomas gets 433.  Then Richard, 1800+467=2267,   
   Thomas, 2200+433=2633.  Thomas wins.   
      
   Even 6000 is a large number, but they will not affect   
   the result because they cancel each other.  They do not   
   matter.   
      
   (3) If 15% of this 6000, that is 900, go to vote.  They   
   all pick Richard according to code_002 when they do not   
   like eitherr.  Then Richard gets 1800+900=2700, and   
   Thomas still gets 2200, Richard wins and Thomas loses.   
      
   After the boss of the election game in the background   
   knows the code_002, next time he/she will give you a   
   bird you like or a bird whose name is Abraham and no one   
   want to be the second bird whose losing can be   
   predicted.  And this election game can not fool people   
   again.   
      
   We just push the boat according to the flow.  That is   
   the point.   
      
   YES, WE HAVE BEEN FOOLED.
