    Does Gordon get side-tracked while taking out the garbage? No

    Is it relevant to discover what the man's relationship with the business is? Yes - very relevant.

    Does he work for the IRS? (That would be the accountant in me speaking, not wine. ;)) No :p

    The new mystery person:
    Is this person Gordon's boss? Yes
    Is this an employee of Gordon's company? Yes - the boss is an employee of Gordon's company.
    Or, is this person working for/with the man, et al. No

    Do Gordon and the man speak to each other?

    Did Gordon go into a room where the man was to collect the trash?

    Ok, I thought about something.

    Gordon takes out the trash everyday. The man and his 'workers' come in the building.

    Right?

    Hypothesis:
    Those people are thieves and Gordon see them. So, Gordon becomes a witness and as such, the thieves cannot execute their 'task' to completion. Thus their lost of millions of dollars.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

    More Questions:
    Is Gordon doing anything illegal?
    Are the man and his 'workers' doing anything illegal?
    Is Gordon's boss doing anything illegal?

    Do Gordon and the man speak to each other? They normally wouldn't, but I think they did due to the incident.

    Did Gordon go into a room where the man was to collect the trash? I'm a little confused by this question. Can you verify what you are asking?

    I might point out, Unky, that you established very early on that the loss was not a "missed gain."

    Right? Yes ETA: Though I would say they are in the building.

    Hypothesis:
    Those people are thieves and Gordon see them. So, Gordon becomes a witness and as such, the thieves cannot execute their 'task' to completion. Thus their lost of millions of dollars. Good idea, but not in this puzzle.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

    I'll try. Did Gordon go into a room, a room where the man was at, in order to collect up the trash that was in that room?

    Yes I know :( I was thinking about it... and didn't know how to put it down, hence my other questions. Maybe something with drug dealing with the boss :eek: and they will lose the money if they can't accomplish their task...

    Did Gordon see something he shouldn't have?
    Did Gordon hear something he shouldn't have?
    Is there a secret of some sort in this puzzle?
    Was there a big noise in the building?

    Did Gordon hear something he shouldn't have? No
    Is there a secret of some sort in this puzzle? No, it's pretty straight-forward.

    Does the boss own the business? Or just work for it?

    So Gordon and the man did not speak before the incidence happened? (I was trying to establish whether speaking was part of what led up to the incidence.)

    Was the business they were conducting financially related. (Gotta get this out of my head.)(I don't mean indirectly like worth something, but like bank, stock, insurance, that sort of thing.)

    Was the man et al in the room waiting for the boss?

    Was the man in the room conducting his business (without the boss I guess).

    Did Gordon move anything in the room (besides trash).

    Um... I'll try... did Gordon see something he shouldn't have seen? (like some business strategy)

    Was the boss communicating with the man through some telecommunication mode?
    Did something happen on the moment Gordon opened the door which leads to the room in which was the man?
    - Did something get out of the room? Someone?

    Were they construction workers, remodeling, that sort of thing? Along those lines, electricians? Painters?

    Did Gordon knock something over or spill something?

    Are there any mistaken identities involved?

    Did Gordon know the man would be in the room when he went in?

    Even though he went in to take the trash, did Gordon do something for/with the man instead?
