                           102 H     101 G      97 S

Again we have a winner - no circular tie. Now of course - in another
example it may be possible to have a tie between the top two - a tie that
can be solved by using Instant-Run-off - HA HA!

Such 102-101-97 result comes from the matrix (Top Letter over Left letter)
         G      H       S
G     --      33     68      101
H     67     --      35      102
S    32      65      --        97
      99     98      103     300

Such 102-101-97 result is thus the votes against each candidate. The votes
for each candidate are 99-98-103.
I note that there are 100 voters x 3 pairings = 300 votes in all pairings.
