and that was all done on paper, no formula, only |||| and counting them 😆😆😆 Your tally is relatively consistent with ours and Sannse's. What methodology did you use?


 * visual

When the vote started I took a pen and a DIN A4 sheet of paper. Then I put it in landscape on the table and wrote the candidate's names on the left side, always one below the other with some space in between. Then I occasionally checked for new votes. For each vote I made a stroke from top of row to bottom of row with the pen after each name that appeared in the vote. Next vote ... After the last vote I jotted down the name of the last voter at the bottom of the paper (and crossing out the previous last voter).

Now it's getting wild! When a candidate had 4 votes with 4 vertical strokes the next vote got a different kind of stroke! From bottom left of first vertical crossing through all 4 verticals to top right of 4th vertical. After two such blocks I made a large vertical line and added 10 (20, 30, ...) over the two blocks. When vote was closed I only had to count the strokes after the last large vertical line and added this to the x0 numbers before that line.

Amazing, isn't it? OK, I am confused😃. Can you go repeat that several more times? Each time, please go progressively slower😃😃😃. And what's with the landscape thing? Are we now talking about gardening????😃
