Four friends, Emily, Noah, Olivia, and Liam, go camping together. On the first night, they play a card game in which the loser must cook breakfast the next morning. Emily loses the game, but she secretly asks Noah to help her cook breakfast. The next morning, Emily and Noah wake up early to prepare the meal while Olivia and Liam are still asleep. When Olivia and Liam wake up and see the breakfast ready, what do they think happened? Respond very briefly.
When Olivia and Liam wake up and see the breakfast ready, they likely think that Emily has cooked breakfast because she lost the card game the previous night, as that was the agreed-upon consequence for losing. It may not be immediately obvious to them that Noah helped unless they see evidence of his assistance or unless Emily and Noah tell them about the arrangement. They might also think that Emily woke up early to fulfill her obligation and prepare the meal on her own, as per the game's rules. Without any additional context or information, Olivia and Liam might not have any reason to assume anything other than that Emily has followed through with the consequence of losing the game.
