 When you write this, ruby first execute ||, something like

moulon% ruby -e 'p /^Provinces:$/ || /^Town:$/'
/^Provinces:$/
moulon% 

 fatally the result is /^Provinces:$/, then it will make the test

a>  	 	task = :provinces

a>  when /^Provinces:$/ && /^Town:$/

 Same here, it first evaluate &&

moulon% ruby -e 'p /^Provinces:$/ && /^Town:$/'
/^Town:$/
moulon% 

 the result is /^Town:$/, then it make the test
