The article is interesting, but with such a low number of voters as we get,
is there a method that is non-exploitable? Is there an article that states
the minimum number of voters each method need to get reliable results?

BTW, what about the system the Eurovision contest uses? In Eurovision
contests there are as many "judges" as participants. Each judge gives points
from 1 to 10 to tent candidates (1 point for one, 2 points to another, 3,
etc... up to 10 points to the last one), although there are many more than
10 total candidates. Applied to the Icehouse contest what if each judge were
to give points from 1 to 5 to 5 entries, how would it work? Would it be
fair?
