Yes, after some series of rating updates according to the user's answers
the Elo ratings converge into more or less stable values. 2*n^2 or
better 3*n^n is enough.
One could use it to sort a list of tasks by priority, for example, if
you struggle with deciding which one
is the highest priority. Or use it to scientifically prove that
oranges are better than apples!
It's fun - try it :)
