[EM] Range voting zero-info strategy simulation

In the zero information case (with many voters), "above mean utility approval strategy"  (Strategy E in Kevin's simulation) is optimal for maximinzing an individual voters expected utility.
 
However, that's not what Kevin is using as a measure of success.  If I understand him correctly, a vote is successful if it (positively) breaks a tie.  The optimal zero info strategy for this measure of success is "above median utility approval," which Kevin did not include in his simulation.
