Actually, there is another corner condition:

C:  A goal is played which two adjacent players both fulfill, and the 
potato is passed from one to the other.

Examples: 
Both players have five Keepers.
Both have the same number of cards, and more than 10.
One player has the Brain and the other has Andy Looney.  (Brain: No TV goal)
There are also some possibilities with Double Agenda.

I think I like the 'simultaneous' argument, in which case the player who 
ends up without the potato wins.
