At a birthday party, there are six friends: Anna, Ben, Carla, Dan, Ellie, and Fred. They have a pinata filled with candy and take turns trying to break it open. Anna goes first and hits the pinata hard but doesn't break it. While they're waiting for their turn, Ben secretly opens the pinata's bottom and takes some candy out. After everyone has had a turn, Ellie finally breaks the pinata, and all the remaining candy spills out. What do the friends think about the amount of candy that comes out of the pinata? Provide a very brief response.
The friends might think that there is less candy than they expected to come out of the pinata due to Ben secretly taking some before Ellie broke it. They would have anticipated a full yield of candy based on the size of the pinata and could be surprised or disappointed by the smaller amount. If none of the other friends saw Ben taking the candy, they could be confused about why there isn't more. However, if someone noticed Ben's actions, they might understand the discrepancy and possibly confront him about it. Without any witnesses, they might simply assume that the pinata was not filled as much as they had thought.
