Hi Richard,

I, too, have had a hard time understanding exactly what are the mechanics
of Binomial STV. I have read your full posts, and I think it would clear it
up for me if you would indeed give a "shut up and calculate" worked example
of the type that Kristofer has sent. Please, without the philosophy and
motivation for the method interspersed, just walk through the calculation
of winners for Binomial STV the same way a computer program would.
