(why not have AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, and CD in a poll)

//edit from Kouji: because it doesn't tell you which 2 hats get the most votes, only which combination of hats got the most votes. Think a bit more next time
//edit from amgtree: I thought I covered them all.

//edit from Kouji: you did cover all the combinations, but you still don't get why that doesn't work. Okay, then, so I'll explain it to you. Let's vote in your format and let's say votes went like this:
AB: 7
AC: 10
AD: 0
BC: 2
BD: 8
CD: 0
In this case AC gets the most votes and would win, however let's take those exact same votes and but in my format. Those exact same votes would come up to be like this:
A: 7 + 10 + 0 = 17
B: 7 + 2 + 8 = 17
C: 10 + 2 + 0 = 12
D: 0 + 8 + 0 = 8
Guess what, A and B actually ended up having more votes. Now of course, I could have done it with a poll to begin with and then added them up this way, but as you've shown, most people wouldn't be smart enough to understand why and I'd have to explain to everyone why the first combination doesn't mean it'd win and which one actually won, in the exact same way that I just showed you.

//Edit by Amgtree: I knew that you would have to do some easy math to get the correct anwser. I was just not explaining that right and thought you didn't. Also the "but as you've shown" thing sounds like you saying I can't do simple math/algerbra and I'm stupid. I understood the # of votes would not be the final count. To me, the way you did it, just seemed very tedious and sloppy. If the only reason you have people post there votes that people would get confused, you made a mistake. I'm pretty sure people wouldn't even say anything about it. If they did you could explain to them. Sorry for the Ms. Communication.
