Once again--
All sorts of mysteries arise when choice C appears in addition to A and B
Original
N1 A > B
N2 B > A
N Total
N1.1 C > A > B
N1.2 A > C > B
N1.3 A > B > C
N1 subtotal
N2.1 C > B > A
N2.2 B > C > A
N2.3 B > A > C
N2 subtotal
N Total
Thus---- C may beat both (be a Condorcet winner), lose to both (be a
Condorcet loser) or beat A or B (be a Condorcet survivor).
C may cause A or B or be a 100 percent clone of C (cloner) or be a 100
percent clone of A or B (clonee).
A number of methods try to make a big deal that such- and- such case may
happen if choice Z is added, removed or is a cloner or a clonee.
Add choice D for more math -- 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 combinations.
Add 100 to 0 percentage *absolute* votes to the math for more complexity.
