Kiran, Priya, and Hikaru are colleagues working in a large open-plan office. Kiran has a habit of working with his Bluetooth headphones on. While he listens to music, he is completely oblivious to his surroundings. Priya, on the other hand, does not listen to music at work but is very focused on her tasks and rarely looks away from her computer screen. Hikaru works in a different corner of the office and is known to pay close attention to the office dynamics; he enjoys observing his colleagues and often knows what's going on around even if not directly involved. Recently, the office underwent minor renovations over the weekend, and a few things were shifted around. One of these changes was the relocation of the office coffee machine from the break room to a more central area in the office, but Kiran was absent on the day the email notification about the changes was sent and no one informed him verbally of the relocation before he went on leave.

The following Monday, Hikaru was the first to arrive and immediately noticed the newly positioned coffee machine. When Priya arrived, she was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice the change, and no one mentioned it to her. Later that day, when Kiran returned from his holiday, he put on his headphones as he walked in, thus missing the possibility of hearing any office chatter about the new machine placement. At lunchtime, Hikaru decided to work through and didn't go to the break room. Priya decided to get coffee but, absorbed in her thoughts about a work problem, went on autopilot to the old location in the break room. Surprised not to find the machine there, she assumed it was out for repair and went without her coffee. Kiran, still with his headphones on and unaware of the change, saw Priya coming back from the break room without coffee but didn't think much of it since Priya sometimes skipped coffee. 

In the afternoon, another colleague mentioned the new location of the coffee machine in passing during a team meeting which Priya attended, but Priya was at the time distracted by an urgent email on her laptop and did not register this piece of information. Kiran did not attend the meeting due to a scheduled day off he was taking, which he informed Hikaru about before the end of the previous week.

In the scenario provided, who is aware of the coffee machine's new location and how do the changes in the office affect each person's awareness of the location of the coffee machine?

Provide a brief response.
Hikaru is aware of the new location of the coffee machine because he was the first to arrive on Monday and noticed the change immediately. Hikaru's habit of observing office dynamics and his presence at the time of the change facilitated his awareness. He has been in the office all day, has not visited the break room during lunch and worked through it, and his attention to the surroundings ensures that he knows where the coffee machine is currently placed.

Kiran is unaware of the new location of the coffee machine. He was on leave on the day the notification about the office changes was sent, so he missed the email explaining the relocation of the coffee machine. Upon his return, his habit of wearing Bluetooth headphones prevented him from overhearing any discussions about it. Furthermore, Kiran's absence from the team meeting due to his scheduled day off meant he missed another chance to learn about the machine's new location.

Priya is also unaware of the coffee machine's current location, despite the fact that she was present in the office and physically looked for the machine. Her intense focus on her work and the urgent email during the team meeting caused her to miss the relocation notification in the email, overlook the new location when she arrived, and not register the mention of the new location during the team meeting. When Priya went to the break room and did not find the coffee machine, her assumption that it was out for repair barred her from further investigating its whereabouts.

To summarize the office dynamics of their awareness: Hikaru knows the coffee machine's new location due to his attentiveness to the office environment. Kiran and Priya remain unaware of the change due to their focused work habits and external distractions (music and urgent tasks, respectively), along with the inadequate communication of the change to both of them through email and office discussions they did not actively engage in or overhear.
