Thanks for the advice and the code Michael.
That's definitely a clever way to do it.
The algorithm is going to be used for a web application, so the inputs
should be sanitized for security reasons. It will be trivial to make sure
the inputs are integers and are in the correct range. I will raise

Hi all,
I'm looking for feedback on the below vote weighting algorithm which
includes sample input. This is written in Python3.
def weight(votes):
"""
Takes a list of tuples in the form of '(vote %, weight)' where vote %
is the
rating that a user gave and weight is the number of votes
