In the small village of Sunnypines, Fadil, Sunita, and Joao work together at an art gallery. Fadil is the curator who is responsible for acquiring new artworks. Sunita is the public relations manager, and Joao is responsible for the security of the artworks. One day, Fadil secures a deal to exhibit the paintings of a renowned artist named Kamilah during an upcoming event. However, he is required to keep the details of the deal confidential until it is announced publicly at the gallery's monthly meeting. Sunita, in charge of arranging the event, is aware that Fadil has been in discussions with an artist but does not know the identity of the artist or the details of the exhibit. Meanwhile, Joao is completely unaware of these new developments and believes that the upcoming event will showcase a local artist, as has been tradition at the gallery.

A week before the monthly meeting, Fadil accidentally leaves a copy of the contract with Kamilah's name visible on his desk. Sunita enters his office and glimpses the contract, but Fadil returns before she can read any further. Sunita now knows the identity of the artist but is unaware of the official confirmation of the deal. Later that day, Joao overhears Sunita mentioning Kamilah's name in a phone call with a supplier, mistakenly assuming that the deal is confirmed and public knowledge. He immediately tells his friend, Anika, who works in a neighboring cafe, excited about the news without knowing it's supposed to be a secret.

The next day, Fadil formally announces the deal with Kamilah at the monthly meeting. Sunita is relieved that the deal has been confirmed but is also concerned about who else might know the details prematurely. Joao is surprised because he thought the news was already known and is worried he might have compromised the gallery's reputation by sharing the information. Anika, who is not an employee of the gallery, starts spreading the word, thinking that it's common knowledge.

Given all of these events and the misunderstandings between the gallery staff and their acquaintances about who knew what and when, what does each of the gallery staff know about who is aware of Kamilah's exhibit, and what are each of their misconceptions?
Fadil knows that the details of the exhibit with Kamilah were to be kept a secret until the public announcement. Since he did not observe anyone seeing the contract except for Sunita, and since he did not share the information with anyone else, he is under the impression that only he and, as of the meeting day, Sunita know of the exhibit details. However, Fadil is unaware that Sunita had only seen Kamilah's name on the contract but did not know if the deal was confirmed, and he is also not aware that Joao has inadvertently shared the information with Anika. 

Sunita, on the other hand, only became aware of Kamilah's involvement when she saw the name on the contract on Fadil's desk but did not know the status of the deal until the announcement at the meeting. She is aware that Fadil knows because he was present at the desk when she saw the contract. She also has a correct understanding that Joao could have mistaken her phone conversation as confirmation of the deal since she did mention Kamilah's name. She does not know, however, that Joao shared the information with Anika, and she falsely assumes that Joao had the correct information about the exhibit at the time he learned of it.

Joao initially knew nothing about Kamilah's exhibit. He becomes mistakenly aware of Kamilah's involvement through overhearing Sunita's phone call and erroneously assumes the information is confirmed as well as publicly known, thus sharing it with Anika. He does not know that Sunita discovered Kamilah's involvement by seeing the contract on Fadil's desk and that at the time, it was not supposed to be public knowledge. At the time of the monthly meeting, he learns that the exhibit was meant to be confidential until the announcement. Joao is unaware of Fadil's lack of knowledge about the information leak and does not know whether Sunita was aware of the confidentiality of the exhibit details when she mentioned Kamilah's name during the phone call.

In summary, Fadil incorrectly assumes that only he and Sunita knew about the exhibit. Sunita is aware that Joao may have misconstrued her telephone conversation but incorrectly presumes that the information Joao had was accurate. Joao, while initially unaware of the need for confidentiality, now knows the information was not to be shared prior to the announcement and is unaware of the true extent of Fadil's and Sunita's knowledge. All three staff members have partial understandings of the sequence of information awareness, with each holding different misconceptions about the others' knowledge.
