A common situation: 2 factions & 1 good compromise.

The goal: Make sure the compromise wins.

The problem: One of the 2 factions has a majority.

A concrete example: true ratings are
   55 voters: A 100, C 80, B 0
   45 voters: B 100, C 80, A 0

THE CHALLENGE: FIND A METHOD THAT WILL ELECT THE COMPROMISE (C)!

The fine-print: voters are selfish and will vote strategically...

Good luck & have fun :-)
