get_kemeny_point(v.vec)

a.beats.b.at(v.vec, point)

`v.vec`	A vector of ballot counts or shares of length 9. If candidates are A, B, and C, then the components indicate the count/share of ballots ranking the candidates (AB, AC, BA, BC, CA, CB, AX, BX, CX).
`point`	A length-three vector of shares.

get_kemeny_point() returns the vector of first-preference location (in standard 3D coordinates) such that, given the pattern of lower rankings, there would be a three-way tie according to the Kemeny-Young method. That is, there is a Condorcet cycle such that each candidate loses to one other candidate by the same margin. Extracting this point allows us to draw the result using Kemeny-Young method.

a.beats.b.at() returns a logical.
