As part of his effort in promoting innovation and healthy relationship among all the

employees working in different locations (branches), Andrus started an annual activity

where groups of employees (based on location) compete to pitch their most extreme ideas

to one another. Each group would present their ideas, then the branches vote one by one.

(They are not allowed to vote for their own branch) Each branch awards 8 votes to their

favorite, 4 to the second, 2 to the third and 1 to the fourth. Clearly, tactical voting is

important, so the order of voting is changed every year. This year, the branches vote in

order from most northerly to most southerly. The results before the last two branches have

voted are shown below (in voting order). Who still stands a chance of winning? Walk me

through your entire thought process!
