I've seen these number quoted before and I don't understand the last one. Why doesn't 6 allow for the failure of 3? Why doesn't 7 allow for the failure of 4? Assuming that this wasn't a mistake in the dim and distant past which keeps on being repeated what am I missing?
I think there is some element of that in the arguments about number of failed servers, but the assumption for six is that three fail in the same way, more specifically, they fail by reporting the same wrong time. In that case, you have two candidate times, each with three votes.
