COLOR ME: "Computer, show me the menu of candidates."
~ TODAY'S MENU ~ Proportional Plate Green Garden Bowl People's Daily Special RED PLATE BLUE PLATE or THE CAPTAIN THE WAITER
1 · You sit down
"I'd like to see the full menu of candidates, please."
2 · The waiter explains
"Today it's Red Plate or Blue Plate. The other dishes were removed before you sat down."
3 · Same kitchen
"They come with the same fries." "The kitchen is the same, Captain. Fascinating."

Count the dishes that got 86'd

🍽 Proportional Plate — removed

🍽 Green Garden Bowl — removed

🍽 People's Daily Special — removed

The vote isn't rigged — the menu is just short by the time you sit. ("86'd" is diner-speak for a dish they won't serve you today.)

Color both plates the SAME 🍴

RED BLUE

Two colours, one team. The choice is real; the range of it was set before you arrived.
