The savory side is a 57-voter OUTRIGHT MAJORITY split across three trucks (Arepa 20 first choices, Bao 19, Churro 18); the sweet side is a disciplined 43-voter minority on two (Donut 22, Eclair 21). Same opinions on every ballot; only the counting rule changes: SNTV hands the majority ZERO seats (Donut+Eclair), Bloc STAR and Bloc Ranked Robin hand it BOTH (Arepa+Bao), STAR-PR and STV share them one per side (Arepa+Donut). THE HEADLINE HERE: the ranked route to the same share. Churro's elimination pools the savory vote, Arepa is elected; Eclair's elimination pools the sweet vote, Donut is elected. One seat per ~quota of voters. (This race deliberately ends with a hopeful still standing — clear of the BV sole-survivor STV crash documented in 06_Other/STV/bv_stv_sole_survivor_crash/.)

Elected at >= quota, and every surplus is measured from it. (Hand-count Droop, floor(100/3)+1 = 34, is a different but equally standard rule.)
