I'm also not following how you meant to write that (apparently a typo) - why would B get more votes than C when A is eliminated? Why would A's voters split evenly down the middle if C is closer to them?

I've messed A and B at some point.

Should be: A gets split, B wins. Introduction of another left candidate caused right one to win.
