    Wouldn't the simpler method be to have an extra field on the ballot that you punch/mark indicating how many votes you've cast?

  3. Re:Calculator - Missing Sqrt, Arc-trig functions on Large User Groups Cause Spontaneous Greying · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And you can get square root without doing the x ^ 0.5 by using the "Inv" mode! Click inv and then do (x^2) -- presto! square root. Inv reverses the sense of most of the operations.

    Also, there are (useful) keyboard shortcuts for all the functions, so sqrt is "i (inv) + @ (square root)".

    I know that this is /. and all, but people really could RTFM once in a while. [Just right click a button, and select "What's this?".]
