I don't suppose it would help to know that just about every system I've implemented answers "C", eh?


The A's form a clone set, which collapsed gives

ABC
BCA
CAB

So any method that gives C more probability than B is clone dependent.


To be clone independent the method would have to give both B and C probability 1/3 each.
