Simple math trick shows how group decisions change when people leave
A real-life example shows how group choices shift without gaining new supporters. When two friends leave movie-selection process the winning option stays same but math changes
In a group-choice situation ten movie-goers split evenly between two films: Team Here and Team Wicked (with five people backing each choice)
The initial stand-off created a dead-end situation; nobody could win this vote. Both sides had equal numbers which made it impossible to pick just one movie
Then something changed — two Team Wicked supporters decided to skip movie night (they probably had some last-minute stuff to do). This shift in numbers didnt mean more people started liking “Here“; instead the pool of “Wicked“ fans just got smaller
The final count showed an interesting result: five supporters of “Here“ versus three for “Wicked“. The math worked out in favor of “Here“ – not because it gained popularity but because its competition lost some backing. So eight friends went ahead and got their tickets for “Here“
This whole thing shows how group decisions can change when people drop out: its not always about getting more votes; sometimes its just about having fewer people on the other side
