In a small town, Jamal, Keiko, and Liora are playing a game of hide and seek. Jamal is it and closes his eyes to count at the base, which is a large oak tree in Keiko's backyard. Keiko, knowing her yard well, quickly hides in a small shed behind some gardening tools. Liora runs into Keiko's house and hides in a closet. Unbeknownst to Liora and Keiko, while counting, Jamal overhears Liora's footsteps echoing in the hallway of the house and deduces she's gone inside to hide. Meanwhile, Keiko's brother, Arjun, arrives home and, noticing his sister's shoes by the shed, peeks inside and silently signals to Keiko that he'll keep her hiding spot a secret. Arjun then sits on the porch, acting nonchalant. After Jamal finishes counting, where will he search for Liora and Keiko, and how does Arjun's knowledge affect Keiko's chances of winning the game? Provide a short response.
Upon finishing his count, Jamal will head towards Keiko's house first, as he had already heard Liora's footsteps echo in the hallway and logically deduced she must be hiding somewhere inside the house. He considers the closet a probable hiding spot as it is a common place to hide. Therefore, he will search the house, likely examining commonly used hiding places like closets, and will most likely find Liora there.

Keiko's chances of winning the game are high since Jamal has no knowledge of her hiding in the shed. Arjun's discovery of Keiko's hiding place does not affect Jamal's search pattern, as Arjun has not shared this information with Jamal. In fact, since Arjun is acting nonchalantly on the porch, his behavior might mislead Jamal to assume neither Keiko nor Liora is hiding close to the house, including the shed where Keiko is concealed. Arjun's decision to keep Keiko's hiding spot a secret, as indicated by his silent signal to her, implies that he is not going to reveal it to Jamal, thus further increasing Keiko's chances of remaining undiscovered and winning the game.
