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

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?
