 So, in order for \(Score(A) &gt; Score(B)\), we must have \((s_1 \times 31 + s_2 \times 39) &gt; (s_1 \times 39 + s_2 \times 31)\), which implies that \(s_2 &gt; s_1\). But, of course, it is counterintuitive to give more points for being ranked second than for being ranked first. Peter Fishburn generalized this example as follows:
