A new pontiff is chosen by cardinals under 80, meeting in conclave and voting until one man wins a two-thirds majority. When the Chair of Saint Peter becomes vacant, the Catholic Church does not fill it with a campaign, a debate stage, or a public vote. It turns to a process that is old, formal,

Marble solitaire starts with one empty center hole, and each move jumps one marble over another until only one marble is left. Marble solitaire looks simple. One board. One player.
