1. In the nation of Utopinia, a revolution is taking place.
Before the start of the revolution, Mr. Jones is the
premier of the nation on Nov. 5. The angry mobs surround his palace in anticipation of arrival of three great leaders, Old Major, Napoleon and Snowball; who are to reach the palace of the premier on Nov. 6, 7 and 8th, respectively. On arrival, a leader can direct the bloodthirsty mob to lynch the exiting premier and become the premier of the nation himself. However a leader can also pacify the angry mob and thereby extend his support for the existing premier. Once the mob is pacified, the revolution stops and subsequently, all leaders cancel their trips to the capital. Each leader wants to remain alive. Moreover, he values the premiership of the nation more than being just alive.
