The following is a few logic games to give you some practice wrapping your head around the illogic of the Bush administration and the radical right. You have until the 2008 elections to select your answers. When completed, send them to Congressional Democrats. Good luck.
Logic Games
DIRECTIONS: Review the scenario and conditions below. Based on the conditions, answer the questions using logical reasoning.
An underground bunker includes six rooms, numbered 1 through 6 from
left to right. Each room accommodates up to two people, not including
body doubles. Six people—George, Dick, Donald, Condi, Antonio and
Karl—are in the bunker at the same time.
Conditions:
• Nobody will stay in a room next to Dick
• Antonio MUST be in the room with “the rack” and the electrodes
• Karl MUST be in Room #1
• Condi will go into any room you stick her in
• George must NOT be in a room next to anyone using a cell phone or
portable defibrillator, as it scrambles the rectangular
receiver/transmitter surgically affixed to his back
• Nobody is sharing a room with his or her conscience
• Karl and George MUST have adjoining rooms
• When considering your answer choices assume the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights have been obliterated, but that the Mickey Mouse
Club Song remains intact, albeit under full copyright law, copyright
held by Disney who will prosecute any infringement to the full extent
of the law.
