At a birthday party, there were six friends - Peter, Paul, Quinn, Rachel, Sam, and Tina. The host hid a surprise gift somewhere in the house and gave each person a clue to find it. Peter's clue led him to believe that the gift was hidden behind a painting in the hallway. However, while searching, he overheard Quinn telling Rachel that she had found the gift under a couch cushion in the living room. Peter didn't know whether to trust Quinn or not. What does Peter think about the location of the gift now?

Respond very briefly.
Peter originally believed the gift was behind a painting based on his clue, but hearing Quinn tell Rachel the gift was under a couch cushion would give him reason to doubt his initial belief. This new information conflicts with Peter's clue, and since it's direct information about Quinn finding the gift, it could sway Peter's thoughts on where the gift is located. He might now consider searching the living room or verifying Quinn's claim to see if it's true before returning to his initial search behind the paintings in the hallway. Without knowing Quinn's trustworthiness or whether she was misleading Rachel on purpose, Peter has to weigh the credibility of his own clue against what he overheard. This conflicting information introduces uncertainty into his search for the gift.
