# Hypothetical example of selecting capitol of Tennessee

=Memph:[Memphis, TN]
=Nash:[Nashville, TN]
=Chat:[Chattanooga, TN]
=Knox:[Knoxville, TN]
# -------------------------
# Ratings are 400 miles minus crow-flying mileage to city
42:Memph/400>Nash/200>Chat/133>Knox/45
26:Nash/400>Chat/290>Knox/240>Memph/200
15:Chat/400>Knox/296>Nash/290>Memph/133
17:Knox/400>Chat/296>Nash/240>Memph/45
</syntaxhighlight>
 
The example above assumes the following formula to calculate
 
<syntaxhighlight>
rating = 400 - <miles_to_city>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
So, for example, it is approximately 355 miles between Knoxville and Memphis (as the crow flies). Knoxville voters would presumably rate at 45 (400 miles minus the distance). Memphis voters would presumably rate Knoxville the same way.
