Coach Rocknute likes his football players fast, big, and obedient. If player A is better than player B in two of these three characteristics, then Coach Rocknute prefers A to B, but if B is better than A in any two of these three characteristics, the Coach Rocknute prefers B to A. Otherwise, Coach Rocknute is indifferent between them.

 

Coach Bearant also likes his players fast, big, and obediant. Coach Bearant prefers player A to player B if A is better in all three characteristics, and he prefers player B to player A if B is better in all three characteristics. He is indifferent between A and B if they weigh the same, are equally fast, and equally obedient. In all other cases, Coach Bearant simply says, "A and B are not comparable".
