    Answer to Problem 2 of Homework 5: suppose you have the profiles 
    2 1      2 1
===      ===
A C      B C
B A      C B
C B
    In the first profile, B has no first place votes and by plurality is last. After instant elimination of B, C with 1 first place vote is second and A wins. After the "irrelevant alternative" A is removed from profile 1, in the second profile B wins over C by plurality (with instant elimination of C), in violation to Axiom 2.
