odo2063@RustyBertrand Depends on what the 6 said. If everyone each had a different opinion than 4 is a majority.π€·
StarkRG@odo2063 @RustyBertrand No, a majority is more than half. It doesn't matter how the rest of the group is divided, if it's less than half, it's not a majority.
rob@StarkRG @odo2063 @RustyBertrand it is in first past the post politics, which may be where some get their maths from.
@odo2063 @robparsons @RustyBertrand Apparently the US has a different definition of the word than everyone else who define it as more than half. In math, though, majority always means more than half, even if you're American.

The US has a different word for the same definition as majority (plurality). Everywhere (including Maths) absolute majority is more than half (the definition of plurality includes a reference to not being an absolute majority) https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/111552092331147428
