Jerry Mander Strikes Again
mediumYour name is Jerry Mander, and
you must draw your town’s voting dis-
tricts so that George Greene becomes
dogcatcher rather than Barbara Blue. To
do that, Greene must win the majority of
the city’s five voting districts. Each district
comprises three households. This map
shows how each of the town’s 15 house-
holds will vote (the tree represents a park
that’s not in any district). The catch: The
three households in each district must
share at least one border with at least
one other household in the district.
Can you draw the five districts in a way
that guarantees Greene defeats Blue?For answers, turn to page 127.For more Brain Games, go to
