Color (even gray scale) can instantly show the Condorcet winner in a pairwise matrix. I'll use gray scale. When the candidate naming the row wins, leave the background color of the cell white. When the column candidate wins, gray it. The winner is the only candidate with a white row all the way across. (Color the cell with the same name row and column white also.) ---- election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
