Mindscapes 10 through 15 are based on the following musical scenario.
The editors of the five top rap e-zines vote on the best rapper of the year (winning the “Wrapper Award,” which is made of aluminum foil). The cand idates for this year’s Wrapper rapper are some of the best musical artists around: Acid Burn Baby Burn, Billie Hooker, Cool KK, and Doctor DoDo. The chart below shows the vote tally. Suppose that each voter considered his or her first and second choices acceptable winners and the last two as unacceptable for this prestigious honor.
We now wonder who should win this year’s Wrapper Award.
Borda without Billie. As in the previous Mindscape, where B is out of the running, what is the outcome if you now use the Baroda count method?
