If you feel it aint broke feel free to ignore this thread. This thread is positing that there are more, far more participants than chairs and looking for ways to solve that. if you don’t believe that to be the case feel free to ignore.

Lkwd fellow:

you either misread or didn’t understand what I wrote. It is of course true that any specific participant has a opportunity and the more open she is to things she may not think is a l’chatchila for her, the greater the chance that that specific participnat will find a chair. This is true for particpants at all stages of the game.

HOWEVER, so long as there are far more participants than chairs there is simply no way for all the participants to land chairs.

(just note the earlier on in the game the less cruel it is. If the first year in the game there are say 2200 participants and 2000 chairs, a few years later there may be 400 particpants and 200 chairs, and a few years later there may be 250 participants and 50 chairs.)
