Wankette 13: Political Affiliations the Hard Way
We are in the thick of campaigning and with all the turncoatism going on, I don’t know what parties the candidates are running under. They gave their introductions and I am now more perplexed as ever. As politicians, we must not be surprised that some of them are not saying the truth. What is truth anyway, you might ask, and I will judiciously kick your butt.
But here are the certainties we can gather from what Artemio, Butch, Choy, Dick, Ernie, Frank and Gerry said:
Every statement made by a Kampi member was false.
Every statement made by an LP was true.
Statements made by an LDP were alternately true and false, in that order.
Statements made by an NPC were alternately false and true, in that order.
The jobs of the candidates are, in no particular order, jueteng operator, priest, broadcaster, lawyer, police general, actor and congressman.
These are their statements:
Artemio:
1) I am not a Kampi or LDP.
2) None of us belong to the same party as Butch.
Bert:
1) I am not an NPC.
2) Gerry is an LP.
Choy:
1) I am a Kampi.
2) Dick belongs to the same party as the actor.
3) The police general is not a Kampi.
Dick:
1) I am an LP.
2) Butch is an NPC.
Ernie:
1) I am an NPC.
2) Gerry’s party is different from the priest’s.
3) Andy is the jueteng operator.
Frank:
1) I am not an LDP.
2) The lawyer is an NPC.
3) Andy and the congressman belong to different parties.
Gerry:
1) I am an LDP.
2) Dick is a Kampi.
What are their party affiliations and their jobs? Frank is an LP.
