in the spirit of the day, let our brains not become addled... let's play a little mind game! puzzle this one out:the tiny nation of turtleopolis has a population of 121, divided into eleven states of eleven citizens each. during an election, the citizens vote for 2 candidates for president. each citizen votes for one candidate and the candidate with more votes in a state receives one electoral college vote for that state. the candidate that gets the most electoral college votes wins.
what is the largest number of popular votes a candidate can receive and not become president?
(i'll post the answer in a couple of days... that'll give everyone a chance to fry their circuit boards.)
