Using a certain apportionment method, she has determined that (based on 703 minutes work for Abe, 243 minutes work for Betty, and 54 minutes work for Cindy) that Abe is to get 8 pieces of the candy, Betty  is to get 3 pieces, and Cindy is to get 0 pieces. However, just before she hands out the candy, she discovers that she forgot to include 86 minutes of work that Abe did, 12 minutes of work that Betty did, and 2 minutes of work that Cindy did. When she reapportions the 11 pieces of candy using the corrected times and using the same apportionment method, Abe ends up with 8 pieces, Betty with 2 pieces, and Cindy with 1 piece. This is an example of

◦ the Alabama paradox.
