Keltham divides the remaining 7 students into 3 groups each containing one remaining tier-1, and then hands out three slips of paper containing pairwise comparisons:

- Would you rather have an old beat-up book listing 200 wizard spells with pretty interesting descriptions, or a moderately used book on principles of spell design with pretty good exposition?
- Would you rather have a new-from-the-store book listing 100 wizard spells with pretty interesting descriptions, or a moderately used book on principles of spell design with pretty good exposition?
- Would you rather have a new-from-the-store book listing 100 wizard spells, or an old beat-up book listing 200 wizard spells, assuming they both had pretty interesting descriptions?

Oh, and considering you got more warning than usual, this time, please just put down the actual preference that comes to you, and don't overthink it?  Sure, you might be able to evade the trap if you thought hard and maybe didn't put down what you would've naturally wanted if you weren't trying to evade some unknown trap, but the point in this case is just to show the basic phenomenon.  Maybe.  When Civilization does this they've usually tried out a dozen variants first to find one that works.

Anyways, go try it!

Keltham divides the remaining 7 students into groups of 3, 3, and 1, and then hands out three slips of paper containing pairwise comparisons to these three groups respectively:

1.  Would you rather have an Osirian book describing 30 rare magic items, or an Absalom book on principles of spell design?
2.  Would you rather have a Nexian book describing 10 rare magic items, or an Absalom book on principles of spell design?
3.  Would you rather have a Nexian book describing 10 rare magic items, or an Osirian book describing 30 rare magic items?
