In an office, there are three coworkers: Jim, Pam, and Dwight. They each have their own desk with various items on it. On Monday morning, Jim brings in a new stapler, Pam brings in a colorful pen set, and Dwight brings in a unique paperweight. During lunch, the office prankster moves these items to different desks without telling anyone. When they return from lunch, where do Jim, Pam, and Dwight think their new items are located?
Provide a brief response.
Jim, Pam, and Dwight would initially think their new items are at their own respective desks since that's where they left them before lunch. However, if each one notices their item missing and potentially sees a new, unfamiliar item in its place, they might suspect that their belongings have been moved. Their first assumption would likely be to check the other desks in the office, starting with those closest to their own or the desks of their coworkers they are most familiar with. If Jim, Pam, and Dwight are aware of an office prankster known for this kind of behavior, they would be even more inclined to look around at other desks for their belongings.
