When Joanne asks him about it, he always tells the truth. But when Catelin asks him about it, he always lies. Explain. RECAP: Joanne and Catelin are both adult human females who ask 'Joe' the same question about his origins. They are not related to Joe. By lying to Catelin, he is avoiding a disadvantage. Jobs are relevant, and Joe's decision is based on more than who asks the question. |

Would Catelin's decisions or actions if she were to know Joe's real origins have impact on Joe? His career? His livelihood? His family? |

The disadvantage Joe is avoiding...is it related to finance? health? career? livelihood? reputation? the law? Is "who Joanna is" relevant. If she were any woman other than Catelin, would Joe still tell the truth to her? <i>not sure if I'm getting the question across correctly<i/> Is Joe's origin something he is ashamed of? Would other people of the same origin lie if they were asked by Catelin about their origin? |

About Catelin's job in Education/Academic research...which level of education - secondary school, college, university, graduate school? Is she a teacher? professor? administration staff? The part about Joe's origin that he is ashamed of...is it his education background? Is Joe enrolling in some eduction program (such as EMBA)where Catelin teaches, but his education level is not as high as other executives in the program? |

Would it be helpful for US to discover where Joe was born? Or is that knowledge so "obscure' that only someone with C's education would know? That certain reputation, is it negative? positive? neutral? |

Ok, let's look at geographic scale...I assume continent is not relevant, how about country relevance? province/state relevance? city/town relevance? Would most people not care about this reputation? Would historians have particular negative reaction to his origin? Is his origin related to some atrocity? or something like Hitler's birthplace...? |

SPOILER: Joe was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, where Hitler was born. He usually tells the truth when people ask him because few know where Hitler was born, but a history professor, like Caitlin, might know and thus he might gain a negative association in her mind (or so he thinks). Thanks for working on this one! |
