Suicide Terrorism In Pakistan--2007 - International Terrorism Monitor

resulting in the death of 419 members of the security forces----the
majority of them from the police and para-military forces--- and 217
civilians. The most important civilian killed was Mrs. Benazir Bhutto,
former Prime Minister. As against this, there were only six incidents
in 2006 in which 46 members of the security forces and 91 civilians
were killed.

Until folks manage to work out that there is no such thing as a
"most important" person - that we are all as important as each
other - there will never be peace.
ObProgramming: consider a two-dimensional array named Importance,
NxN elements in size; the array represents the views of a
population N on the importance of people in that population (where
N > 1). Element Importance[X][Y] is an integer value in the range 1
to N, and represents the view of X on the importance of Y, where 1
means "unimportant" and N means "maximally important". Although
there are N values in the range 1 to N in Importance[X][0] through
Importance[X][N-1], there is no requirement that all values must be
distinct within that range. Thus, with N being 5, it would be
permissible for Importance[X] to be { 2, 4, 5, 5, 2 }
Let this array be stored in a text file, with the first line
containing (a text representation of) N, and the next N lines each
containing N (text representations of) array elements.
Alternatively, the array could be generated at random. Your choice.
Write a program that, given such an array, can
(a) determine who is the "most important" person in the group,
according to popular vote (this is easy - to get a person P's
importance rating, add up Importance[0][P] through
Importance[N-1][P]) - and display the entire population in ranking
order, along with their ranking and importance rating;
(b) find "loops" within importance ratings. The simplest example of
a loop is where Person A ranks Person X as being more important
than Person Y, but Person B ranks Person Y as being more important
than Person X. Here is a subset of the array for a slightly more
complicated example where N is at least 4 (if it /is/ 4, each of A
B C D is also one of W X Y Z, but that doesn't really matter here):
Person gives rating for
W X Y Z
A 4 1 2 3
B 1 2 3 4
C 3 4 1 2
D 2 3 4 1
Here, A thinks that W is the most important out of W X Y Z, but B
thinks that Z is more important than W. C thinks X is more
important than Z, and D thinks that Y is more important than X.
Since A thinks that W is more important than Y, we have a loop.
If a loop is detected, we have an inconsistency of views within the
population, so we remove the inconsistency by removing those who
expressed those views. In the example above, A, B, C and D are now
removed from the array. That is, Importance[A][0] through
Importance[A][N - 1] and Importance[0][A] through
Importance[N-1][A] are removed. Same for B, C, and D. (Note that W,
X, Y and Z are not removed, except for any who are also A, B, C, D
- people are not to be held responsible for the views other people
hold of them). This gives you a new N, which is different from the
previous value of N by, say, S. Traverse the entire array,
detecting any values greater than the new N, and subtract S from
those values, to normalise the values given the new array size;
(c) Do this thousands of times with arbitrary data. Classify your
results, and summarise them in this thread. What conclusions can we
draw?
