[edit]

I'd like to point out that the example is flawed, as the fair share is slightly off for the 69-seat case.

I have fiddled with some numbers in Excel and have come up with another example. I'll be changing the example in the article. LuckyWizard 06:56, 31 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand.

[edit]

The problem states that the paradox is a result of a larger size but the example shows a result of more seats and not a larger size. Can this be clarified? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.184.29 (talk) 00:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you think "larger size" meant the population of the state? It means the number of seats in the legislature. —Tamfang (talk) 18:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You call that a "discussion", opened and closed at the same time? —Tamfang (talk) 07:15, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
