Yes, I know there's a "legendary thread" that describes it, but it's old enough that most of the photo links are broken, so the descriptions don't make as much sense.
So here, there are four cars:
From left to right we'll label them White, Yellow, Red, Pink
Say my preference is Red, Yellow, Pink, White
I know one method is to list them in the order that I prefer them. In this case that would be 3, 2, 4, 1. Which method is this?
The other method is to keep the cars in order, and assign their place in my ranking. In this case that would be 4, 2, 1, 3. Which method is this?
I know this will be ridiculed because it's been brought up ~1k times, but I'm certain I'm not the only one here who doesn't have this figured out. Or maybe I am, and it's all the collie-molesting that's got me confused... Either way, thanks!
