Olympiad: fair votes, close counts and who decides ★★★, sentence 3
Who-decides puzzles are chains: a bill needs both parts of Parliament or Congress and then the King's assent or the president's signature, while a broken swing in the park goes to the council, not the Prime Minister.
Who acts: decides puzzles, bill, broken swing, King, president · What happens: decide, be, need, break, go, assent · To what, where: chains, parts, council
