    The only way for any pair of two Free-donian senators to have at least one corrupt senator is for there to be less than 2 honest senators, because if there were 2 or more honest senators, a pair could be picked containing only honest senators. Since we know we have at least 1 honest senator, we know that only 1 is honest and the remaining 49 are corrupt.
