Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

But I may be misreading what the dummy is.

You've got that down. A dummy is one who's vote doesn't matter.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm just not sure, it's surreal.

Oh, dur, yes, 'cause it's 71. I think I was still stuck on 58. Yeesh.

Would you believe that's one of the easier ones? I've still got 6 more problems to go.

You can ask us another one, and if you get the same answer I do, you'll know it's wrong.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Bwah!

Nah...these aren't so bad. They just take a lot of working out. I have to use the Shapley-Shubik Power Index and the Banzhaf Power Index. Both are different types of ratios, and you have to write out most of the permutations of the votes. It's a wee bit crazy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
