Elitism percentages of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80% are examined. The percentage of elitism is the percentage of the population that is passed on unchanged to the next generation. Figure shows the performance of each elitism rate. The median champion was 1 for all elitism rates except for 0%. Having no elitism severely limits the exploitation of good candidates already found, making it difficult to pass on good traits to find similarly good candidates.
