Sorry, I multiplied the percentages by 100 (assuming a total of 10,000
votes) when going through the exercise.  The following should make more
sense:

In the example above, the winners would be:

Candidate     % of Votes Consumed
  A1           16.67
  B1           16.67
  B4           16.67
  A2           11.67
  A4           11.67
