Gordo and Steve make arrangements for a meeting at a particular place. Gordo has no intention of being there, but if Steve is late by even a few seconds Gordo could lose his job. What's going on? |

Is the meeting in connection with Gordo's job? With Steve's? Do Gordo and Steve both work for the same organization? Is Gordo Steve's boss? Does Steve know that Gordo has no intention of being there? Is a third person at the scene of the rendezvous? Are any CCTV cameras involved? |

No (good q) Does Steve know that Gordo has no intention of being there? Yes Is a third person at the scene of the rendezvous? Very likely Are any CCTV cameras involved? Can you possibly rephrase this question? |

Are CCTV cameras in any way relevant to the puzzle? Are there any such cameras at the site of the rendezvous? If so, are they switched on and functioning? Is Steve asked to take anything with him to the rendezvous? Is the rendezvous a legal activity (in, let's say, USA jurisdiction)? Would anyone be killed or hurt if Steve were to be a few seconds late? Do we need to find out more about the actual site of the rendezvous? |

Is Gordo's job to get Steve to place x at a certain time? e.g. Steve is an astronaut, and Gordo is a NASA scientist, and we're talking about some space-station docking scenario? If Steve was a few seconds early, would Gordo still be likely to lose his job? If he were a few minutes early? |

Are CCTV cameras in any way relevant to the puzzle? I'll say this...there are cameras involved, and they probably aren't CCTV although some of them may be Are there any such cameras at the site of the rendezvous? Not at the exact site, no If so, are they switched on and functioning? Slight FA (see previous answer) Is Steve asked to take anything with him to the rendezvous? No (good q) Is the rendezvous a legal activity (in, let's say, USA jurisdiction)? Yes Would anyone be killed or hurt if Steve were to be a few seconds late? Killed - no. Hurt - maybe Do we need to find out more about the actual site of the rendezvous? Of course Is Gordo's job to get Steve to place x at a certain time? Hmmm...it is from a certain viewpoint, but this needs to be explored e.g. Steve is an astronaut, and Gordo is a NASA scientist, and we're talking about some space-station docking scenario? Not the case but a good suggestion If Steve was a few seconds early, would Gordo still be likely to lose his job? yes, maybe even more likely to lose it If he were a few minutes early? This would not be possible |

Based on the list in the previous post, the only item that relates to their job is "entertainer", yet this is not the exact description but it does partially apply to what they do |

So the third person (can we call him James? Or would Jane be more appropriate?) has heard of Gordo and Steve? Are they famous? Is J interviewing them? Happening on live tv/radio? Is it more of a business meeting? Is the arrangement to meet J? Is something else, other than meeting J, supposed to happen at an exact time? A phone call perhaps? If Steve is late, could he be hurt? Gordo? J? |

Ah, ok. Were the arrangements made face to face? By phone? By mail? Email? Fax? Txtmsg? Were both parties happy with the arrangements? Or was there some coercion? Some extortion? Were the arrangements made on the same day as the meeting? A day before? More than a day before? More than a week before? Long before? Did J know of the arrangements at the time they were made? Was J happy with the arrangements when he heard about them? |

So Gordon meets with Steve face-to-face (?) and arranges Steve's meeting with J (?) in the place J plans to be (?) but without J knowing about this arrangement? Steve must be there dead on time, or Gordon, and possibly Steve, will be hurt. Both Steve and Gordon are satisfied with the arrangement ( but not "happy" ). Does "hurt" mean loosing their jobs or something more? Is J dangerous in criminal way or only as a person of authority ( e.g. Gordon's and Steve's boss )? Is the story related to TV? radio? The place where the meeting is to take place: auditorium / studio? TV / radio station building? outside the building? |

So Gordo meets with Steve face-to-face (?) Yes and arranges Steve's meeting with J (?) NO- FA in the place J plans to be (?) Well, yes, but there is more to this but without J knowing about this arrangement? Yes - like I said, there is more to J's involvement than has been discovered Steve must be there dead on time, or Gordon, and possibly Steve, will be hurt. No - If Steve is late, or on time, he is at risk for being hurt. Regardless of what time Steve arrives, there is a chance that Gordo will be hurt but his chance of this is much smaller Both Steve and Gordon are satisfied with the arrangement ( but not "happy" ). Right Does "hurt" mean loosing their jobs or something more? In this case it refers to injury/harm Is J dangerous in criminal way or only as a person of authority ( e.g. Gordon's and Steve's boss )? Neither of these Is the story related to TV? radio? Yes, related to both The place where the meeting is to take place: auditorium / studio? No TV / radio station building? No outside Yes the building? No building involved, so FA here |

No - we have established that TV and radio are involved, but NOT that any of the characters work in this field would any of them stand in front of a camera? Likely, at times behind it?

Do we have to find the spesific location geographically? or is it enough to determine type of place (like supermarket, post office, etc)? It's good enough to find the type of place (and it's not that post office in England that some buffoons tried to rob so many years back) Is the place dangerous in itself? No Or just on account of the jobs that the three men do there? Ah, yes, very well worded If I went there alone, would I be in danger? No, none, and another good q Are TV crews always at this location? No, not always Or just at that one time? No, not this either Is it an airport? No Air traffic control relevant at all? No do any of (them) maybe do some sort of rescue work? No does their work entail going abroad? It may, but this would be only a minor and secondary part of the job maybe to places at war? to help people? No to these |

Have another question about the first post! Did he almost lose his job because he was fired? because he died? Did he pick the worst route to get to that place, and died on a cliff? |

Have another question about the first post! Did he almost lose his job because he was fired? Well, the statement says that Gordo could lose his job, and yes, it would be because he would get fired because he died? No Did he pick the worst route to get to that place, and died on a cliff? No, still not the right type of "route" |

quote:Or is this a meeting between Steve and someone else? Strictly speaking no
Is J another person? Human? Adult? Male? Assuming that he is, Is J presumed to be the one that Steve will meet with because J is routinely in that place at that time? Does someone else occasionally substitute for J? or is it the case that sometimes no one is in that place at that time for Steve to meet? Would that damage still occur if no one is there for Steve to meet? The damage that J may do to Steve or Gordo if Steve is a few seconds early or late: will J intentionally seek one? or both of them out to hurt them? will the damage be unintentional? inevitable? would it occur if J is not the one Steve is early or late to meet? Is either Steve? or Gordo a traffic copter reporter? a pilot? Is J? Midair refueling relevant? |

something like tourist information? No, not involved Air traffic control? Not this either Does each of the people in this location have a particular number assigned and displayed? :] Why yes, indeed they do! And does the one Steve's supposed to meet have relatively dark skin? Color of skin does not matter Welcome into the puzzle, Rabrab! Is J another person? Human? Adult? Male? Yes to all of these Assuming that he is, Is J presumed to be the one that Steve will meet with because J is routinely in that place at that time? Yes Does someone else occasionally substitute for J? Yes, likely or is it the case that sometimes no one is in that place at that time for Steve to meet? Yes, this is sometimes the case Would that damage still occur if no one is there for Steve to meet? No (good q) The damage that J may do to Steve or Gordo not to Gordo if Steve is a few seconds early or late: will J intentionally seek one? or both of them out to hurt them? J will intentionally be seeking one of them, yes, but his primary goal is not to cause them bodily harm will the damage be unintentional? Most of it, yes inevitable? To a degree, yes would it occur if J is not the one Steve is early or late to meet? GOOD Q - yes, the same chance of injury would exist if J were not the one present (but there is a bit of FA lurking) Is either Steve? or Gordo a traffic copter reporter? a pilot? Is J? None of them Midair refueling relevant? No |

More specifically, does the "object" of Steve's meeting have dark brown, relatively thick skin... :] And might there be beautiful females in the vicinity who are emotionally involved in the outcome of the "meeting" ??? |

Yeah, there probably are some of these not too far away |

Is the meeting anything to do with sports? Are any of their jobs sports related? If so Steve? Gordo? J? |

And are there thousands (possibly millions) of people of age ages (but primarily male?) who may be emotionally and/or financially invested in the outcome even though they don't know the participants personally? OK I guess I'm dragging this out but it's kinda fun for a NB... :] |

Yes, all of them And are there thousands (possibly millions) of people of age ages (but primarily male?) who may be emotionally and/or financially invested in the outcome even though they don't know the participants personally? Certainly, and of more importance are the ones who DO know the participants (at least two of them) personally If it's now obvious to everyone I'll drop the solution, but if anyone hasn't guessed it yet I'll leave it open for just a short while longer |

** SPOILER ** This puzzle describes a football play. Gordo, the quarterback, sets up a play in which the plan is to pass the ball to Steve, who will hopefully run the correct route and be in place to catch the ball. Otherwise J, who is covering Steve, could intercept the ball. Gordo has had problems lately and the interception could be the final straw and he could lose his job on the team. |
