Saskia, Renato, and Jie are playing hide and seek inside a house with many rooms. Saskia is the seeker, and both Renato and Jie must find separate hiding spots. Before the game begins, Renato whispers to Jie that he plans to hide in the attic because it's rarely visited, and Jie decides to hide in the basement for similar reasons. Unbeknownst to both, Saskia is in earshot and overhears their entire plan. While Renato and Jie are hiding, Saskia silently moves to the kitchen to get a drink and then waits there. Marlon, who is not playing, arrives at the house and wonders where everyone is. He asks Saskia, who explains the game but doesn't disclose the hiding spots. Curious, Marlon decides to search for Jie first. Given that Renato and Jie don't know Saskia overheard them, who will be found first and by whom?

Provide a brief response.
Marlon will find Jie first. The reasoning is as follows: Saskia knows both Renato's and Jie's intended hiding places from overhearing their conversation. When Saskia interacts with Marlon, she doesn't reveal Renato and Jie's hiding spots, so Marlon lacks the specific knowledge Saskia has. Marlon acts on his own initiative to search for Jie first, which is simply his personal choice. Since Marlon is specifically looking for Jie, and because Saskia, who is aware of Jie's location, shows no intention to compete in finding Jie or Renato before Marlon does, Marlon's search will not be influenced by Saskia's advanced knowledge. There is no information to indicate that Marlon would quickly give up or alter his initial decision to look for Jie, or that Saskia would intercept him before he starts his search. As neither Renato nor Jie is aware that Saskia overheard them, they have no reason to change their chosen hiding spots, so Jie will remain in the basement, waiting to be found, unaware that Marlon is searching for him. Therefore, without any intervention, and since Saskia stays in the kitchen, Marlon will eventually find Jie in the basement.
