If he had not observed any part of her journey, would he have drawn the inference he did? Was his inference based on something that occurred between the previous lesson and this one? between the previous lesson and her departure for this one? | ||

Did Sarah take a direct path to Tony's and stop on the way? Or did she take an indirect path which made her trip longer? Did Tony see her pass the place where he was and then come back, instead of simply approach the building and enter? Could he tell from which direction Sarah approached the building? I'm trying to figure out if, for instance, if Sarah had come up a front walkway, Tony would have known she had come her usual route, but on this day instead she came across the front lawn which meant she was approaching from another direction than usual... | ||

Is Tony's studio/room on the bottom floor of the building? Relevant? Did Sarah have to use an elevator to reach Tony's studio? Stairs? Escalator? | ||

The puzzle states that Tony wasn't offended by Sarah's tardiness, and it seems that she did something on the way to the lesson which caused Tony to dismiss her - is this right? Is it likely that Sarah will return for her next lesson as scheduled? Relevant? Tony's suspicion of why Sarah was late was not confirmed until he saw her, is that right? | ||

If she'd been late for another reason, he would not have dismissed her. Sorry if this was not clear. Is it likely that Sarah will return for her next lesson as scheduled? yes Relevant? I suppose Tony's suspicion of why Sarah was late was not confirmed until he saw her, is that right? not necessarily | ||

was she missing anything relevant to her lesson? i.e. didn't have her lesson book, etc.? | ||

Had Sarah said anything to Tony in the past that indicated that on this particular day she may have plans to do something that coincided with her lesson? Weird thought - does she have a 'U2' tattoo on her arm, and U2 happens to be playing a live concert on the back of a flatbed trailer on campus, so he guesses that she's stopped off to hear them play? This is confirmed when she shows up humming 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday'? | ||

So Tony's suspicion is not entirely confirmed by the sight of Sarah? Is it confirmed when he hears her? When someone else sees her? When she calls him on the phone? | ||

So Tony will apparently give Sarah another lesson in the future... will conditions soon change so that the reason he is angry no longer holds true? Will the conditions remain the same but he will cool off? Is he being hasty? Having a temper tantrum? Is it correct that the awakening of Tony's suspicion and his drawing of his inference take place entirely within the five minutes? And that he drew it without the support of any information obtained previous to that five minutes? Did Sarah's delay have to do with music? With the piano? Did it have to do with Tony? With something else entirely? Will it be easier to figure out why/where she stopped and then work on how Tony knew? Or vice-versa? Will the why/where she stopped be obvious when we have discovered how Tony knew? Or vice-versa? Both? | ||

Does Tony suspect that he's in jeopardy of losing a client (Sarah)? When Sarah departed for the lesson, did she plan on the delay happening? | ||

Is Sarah blind? deaf? Is Tony blind? deaf? (somehow these aspects seem to sneak into a lot of puzzles) |
