The "worst-case number of guesses" objective considered here is pretty insensitive to differences in quality of the decision tree. It seems to me that a better objective would be: minimize the number of secret words that take more than 6 guesses (hopefully to zero), then minimize how many that take 6 guesses, and so on.

If you then diagonalize that connection matrix, you can get constant time (though you might have to make a special case for starting at the `5` key): "Diagonalization can be used to efficiently compute the powers of a matrix..." [1]

Instant-runoff is a terrible voting system and should never be used, see http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/ . Approval voting is simpler and better. Condorcet is best except that it is somewhat complicated.
