This is an admirably baroque solution but I think the better one is just to
pitch the entries of non voters and go next best vote count entry wins.
Kyle's gets points for degree of difficulty, though... :-)
{"Well, Frank, that dive didn't come off too well. One of the judges got hit
with eggshell and the diver bellyflopped, splashing most of the water out of
the pool" "Yes, Howard, but the _Quadruple Backflip light a campstove and
Fry an Egg_ dive has the highest degree of difficulty of any dive attempted
in Olympic competition this year, by far, so our diver won anyway, Go USA!
Er, um, I mean, isn't it refreshing to see the Olympic ideals held up?")
