An official poll was initiated to determine the favorite mentor among participants, allowing multiple votes. The discussion revealed a competitive atmosphere, with some expressing dissatisfaction over the nominations, particularly the absence of "Math Is Hard." The conversation took a humorous turn with suggestions of unconventional tie-breaking methods, including mud wrestling. Participants debated the fairness of the voting process, with some claiming it was rigged or biased towards certain nominees. The poll results showed a close race, with both "Math Is Hard" and "MIB" receiving equal votes, leading to speculation about potential conspiracies among voters to create a tie. The overall tone was lighthearted, with playful banter and references to pop culture, while also highlighting the complexities of the voting dynamics within the group.

You are allowed to vote for both choices. So far, each has received 27 votes with 36 total voters.

Or

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|Math Is Hard\rangle + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|MIH\rangle ?

There should have been a couple of more choices in the polls. I'm kinda partial to the Hooper, and the Left-Coaster, too.

Oh, this could have caused a critical shift in votes!

"Major" on the level of "major award" in "A Christmas Story"? That's scary! Opening the crate, pulling the award out of the excelsior... it boggles the mind!

It's completely fair, people that disagree with the choices show their objections by not voting.

It's completely fair, people that disagree with the choices simply don't vote.

I mean the outcome of the poll.

I've fixed it so that they don't affect the poll outcome. So all is fair, like in a reall poll. :biggrin:

I am suggesting that the voters are spontaneously conspiring to produce a tie vote.

I know I did! :biggrin:

Wait until you get to know her better... :rolleyes:

MIH is a Texan AND a Californian Girl! I'll bet she is more complicated than she appears on the surface. I wish they all could be California girls...
