Hannah,
I don’t know if this is the “answer”, but the contradiction in the statements can be seen most clearly if no one is a sociable. They are then all members of a club of the unsociable. An earlier statement says every club has someone’s name. If everyone is a member of one club, the unsocial ones, it must have the name of one of the members, but then that person would be social, and not a member of the unsociable.

Hence the statements contain a contradiction, and cannot be true. I do not know if that is the “official” answer. Just my best guess.

Of course puzzle #260 isn’t the important thing, but rather does this help explain the puzzle that is BHO. Who is BHO?

I am not sad that sewer in North Ill. was not awarded the games. I figure the reason they are disappointed is the chance to steal billions from the process is gone. Although, perhaps an “honest” spoils system would be cheaper than the mess in Washington now. It doesn’t directly steal as much, but costs us more from lack of accountability, inefficiency, and pork. Not to mention the bureaucratic fat, those who simply stand in the way of anyone doing anything useful. Much like the public affairs Major mentioned by Michael Yon recently.

This is like an IT department that comes to “fix” your computer even if nothing is wrong, because now is time to “fix” your computer. They don’t care if it works. They only care if it is done at the right time, with the right paperwork.

Sound familiar?

I vote for King Log, against King Stork.
