The Alamut article I linked to explains how juries were selected, using a very ingenious process, in section 2.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoIt describes how the kleroterion works, but I don't see anything about how jury size is determined? It literally just says that the number of white balls (linearly related to number of jurors assuming excess demand for jury duty and a constant number of columns on the kleroterion) is "a function of the number of juries that needed to be filled".
- fmajid 3y agoThe number of tags on each column is a variable function of how many potential jurors of that jury-section-letter showed up. Towards the end of the funnel, the rows would be incomplete, thus depending on the random balls from the funnel, the final number of jurors would also vary, at least for the last juries being selected.
