    "The General's Dilemma" would solve this problem. The story goes something like this: The general needs to get urgent information to one of his officers, however, he suspects saboteurs are present among his messengers. In order to insure the information gets through accurately, he sends the same message with several men. The officer on the other end collects all the messages and goes with the majority. (And, presumably, kills the others.)
