    Were they construction workers, remodeling, that sort of thing? Along those lines, electricians? Painters? No, none of those things.

    Did Gordon knock something over or spill something? No

    Are there any mistaken identities involved? No

    Did Gordon know the man would be in the room when he went in? No

    Even though he went in to take the trash, did Gordon do something for/with the man instead? No

    Did Gordon take something else instead of trash?
    Did Gordon destroy something accidentally?
    Was the room dark?
    Were the people in there carrying out an experiment of some sort?
    Does the boss have anything to do with the puzzle at the time of incident?
    Does the boss arrive later in the scenario to discover what happened?

    No, but you are getting warmer. I'd feel bad about the hint, but this is how the other puzzle went and this hint was given. I could have said no-ish. :p Plus, we want to finish it in fewer posts than they did.


    Did Gordon take something else instead of trash? No
    Did Gordon destroy something accidentally? Destroy is not the right word, but he ruined something.
    Was the room dark? No
    Were the people in there carrying out an experiment of some sort? No
    Does the boss have anything to do with the puzzle at the time of incident? Yes, but probably not in the way you might be thinking.
    Does the boss arrive later in the scenario to discover what happened? I am sure he was informed about it. Whether or not he arrived is irrelevant.

    Is the boss going to sue the man?

    Was the man specifically doing this job for or about the boss?
    If so, is that the only relevance of the boss?

    Did the door hit something?

    Were they decorators?

    Were they portrait painters? (That makes no sense cause how many people do you need to paint a picture?)

    Now I'm dejected. I loved the photographer idea. It was the first thing I thought of that made some reasonable sense. (And I was thinking of the development when I asked, not the photographer taking.)

    Are you guys getting tired of this yet? I still say there is something in the recap that should stand out.

    You're idea was really on the right track. In the other puzzle, they suggested that and the person running the puzzle said that could have been an alternate solution. However, the real solution makes more sense.

    I'm tired (I said last night I'd regret being up so late), but not tired of. Just stumped at the moment. I probably need to read the re-cap and just close my eyes for a while and ponder. (Maybe hold a purring puddy tat - that always helps everything.)

    This is just a wild weird stab... but did the door opening cause some weirdo suction in the air and do... something, I don't know?

    Did what the man and the workers have something to do with art?
    - Does it involve paint?
    - Does it involve light?
    - Does it involve sculpture?

    Did a strong wind blow when the door was opened?
    - Did this make bank notes fly away through a window?

    I'm getting a little paranoid now. I could have asked for clarification of a question early on, but it was so early on that I answered it in such a way I thought it would draw out more questions. I even asked a couple of friends about it and they agreed I should answer it the way I did. I hope you guys agree. :o

    Something more generic: did opening the door itself cause something to happen?

    As a side note, if Gordon did not know these people were in the room, I would say the fact that they saw each other (i.e. were in the same place) was indeed "coincidental."

    I have a vague memory of something I said I'd have to ask about and get some clarification. I'll have to see what that was. I've also looked at several things that have been "iffy" answers and tried to think what to ask to "un-iffify" them. Just haven't thought what to ask.

    Somehow that reminds me of being Tartuffified. Anyone know Tartuffe?

    Interesting. You answered the three separate items, but not the main question. Was there another form of art then?
