Which rotation method do you think is best?

To make this vaguely scientific, please vote on the assumption that the teacher has explained the method correctly and that it is the normal rotation method at that venue, so most people are used to it. I've assumed extra women because that's normally the case.

Bad old way = moving a queue of 947 women :non-existent yawn icon

Scatter method = extra women EVENLY distributed between couples, e.g. one 'spare' woman for every four couples

What I'm going to christen the 'split' method - extra women are divided into two or more queues and assigned specific rows to rotate around as per queue method - explained properly here

Other method - please describe...
If you want a proper poll lets have one

If you are calling moving extra women on a 'funeral wake method' im assuming there is a hidden bias

As mentioned different things work for differnt venues and numbers and you cant ASSUME any method apart form the 'funeral wake method' has been talk/shown correctly.

Ps there was more men at Fulham yesterday and this blip in women numbers will even itself out no doubt by year end
