In fairness, the chances of most North Americans getting it right are pretty low when you consider the obesity epidemic, lack of physical activity, and all their orbiting ailments. To your point though, difficult in what respect? I've

Barring edge cases, Condorcet methods can be described like single-elimination tournaments which pretty much everyone is familiar with. Yes, graph theory comes into play for tie breaking (assuming we can agree that cyclic Condorcet paradoxe
