I thank a reader for pointing out that the A, B, C math does not produce the
indicated result.
The math in the example should have been
47 AC
2 AB
48 BC
1 CA
1 CB
50 A > 49 B
50 B > 49 C
50 C > 49 A
Generally for 3 candidate examples one should draw a circle and add the
numbers along the arc for a given candidate (such as N1 AB, N2 A (no second
choice), N3 AC) to produce and check the possible results.
