A group of four friends - Peter, Paul, Jane, and Emily - go to a museum with three floors. Each floor has a different exhibit: dinosaurs, space, and ancient civilizations. They decide to split up and explore the exhibits separately. During their visit, the museum staff moves some exhibits between floors for maintenance. When the friends meet up again, how do they discuss what they saw without knowing about the changes? Provide a short response.
The friends would discuss what they saw based on their individual experiences and assumptions that they each visited a different exhibit corresponding to the floor they went to. They would naturally start by mentioning the floor they chose and the exhibit they expected to see there. During the conversation, confusion might arise as they realize that their descriptions of the exhibits do not match the initial expectation (for example, Peter might say he went to the first floor and saw ancient civilizations instead of dinosaurs). To reconcile these differences, they would likely share specific details about the artifacts or displays they encountered. Through this detailed sharing, they would deduce that the exhibits had been moved during their separate explorations. They would correct their initial assumptions about the location of each exhibit based on the new information provided by each friend's observations. This would lead to a clarification of which exhibits they actually saw, irrespective of the floor they were on.
