11.1 Exercise 25

Avg difficulty 2.5

The eight members of the Chionilis family—Annette, Rene, Seema, Titus, Galen, Elena, Max and Demitri—have another decision to make. Approval voting worked out nicely the last time. They are going to use it again, but this time, Annette, Rene, Seema, and Galen are feeling a little indecisive. They can't narrow their choice down to two. They will approve their three top choices, but the other family members will only approve two. These choices are reflected in the following table. Determine the restaurant that will be chosen.

Options A R S T G E M D
Rainbow China Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes
Dough Boys Pizza Yes Yes Yes Yes No Yes No Yes
Taco City Yes No Yes No Yes Yes No No
Caribbean Flavor No Yes No No Yes No Yes No
