#22 - Local, Must Be True

[Dave Killoran]

Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=393&t=1212)

The correct answer choice is (D)

Answer choice (A) can immediately be eliminated because it would violate the second rule. After this point, however, without the patterns the question is very difficult. If you do not have the patterns, the best approach is to use hypotheticals to solve the problem.

If N, O, and S participate in the first year, then P and T must participate in the second year:

As shown in the patterns, the two clans who participate in the second year but do not participate in the first year follow these two patterns:

Thus, P and T, who both participate in the second year but not the first, must both participate in the fifth year, and answer choice (D) is correct.
