So I'm guessing it went like this:
"Do we have all the ballots separated for each candidate?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, who got the most votes?"
"Er, well the piles for Jin and Lanka were obviously the largest..... but they're basically the same size."
"What!? Gah, how can we determine who won if we can't clearly see who got the most votes...."
"If only we could somehow individually count the votes."
"I know.... its impossible......... Wait! I have an idea!"
