    If I have to read 10 short stories for a competition I will read the first one and the second one but then I will glance over the others to see if anything grabs my attention.
    Most people will do this also and it ends up favouring the first few stories on the list.

    Any solutions?
    Present 3 at a time and the winner moves on to the next round?
    Obviously it would depend ...[text shortened]... eople.

    (Please spare me the self rightious comments like "I will read them all blah blah blah"😉 )
