* The Eurovision Song Contest uses a method where each country's panel of judges rates the top 10 songs. The first pick gets 12 points, the second 10, the third 8, and the rest get <math>m - i</math> (i.e. 7, 6, ..., 1) with all the rest of the songs getting 0. This can be represented by the vector <math>a_\mathrm{Eurovision} = (12, 10, 8, 7, ..., max(m - i, 0), ..., 0)</math>
