Is (S+2)(T+S+1)/2(S+1)<T/2 ?

D- s349436 is good to raise the question. It has been very many years
since I have done much algebra.
The denominator 2's cancel on both sides.
(S+2)(T+S+1)/(S+1) < T
The numerator S+2 is > denominator S+1. The left side is obviously greater
than T on the right side. No need to go further. Answer NO.
Since (S+2)/(S+1) approaches 1 with a large S, there will be bare majority
rule. with Droop in one at large district.
