was he overdressed in that he was prepared for warmer temperatures? were other people wearing the proper clothing for the event? bathing suit? Would John know hewas overdressed if he was the only person there? would the average outsider observing know that John was overdressed? did john pay any special attention to his attire when he got dressed? did the proper attire serve a practical function? was the proper attire defined by social standards? explore events before John arrived? explore events after John arrived? age relevant? over 13? under 13? | ||

so he decided for himself what to wear? was this based on some misunderstanding? did he misunderstand what the event was? or did he purposely dress differently? did he want to stand out? any fancy dress involved? | ||

was john arriving at some social gathering? concert? religious? was it a liesure arrival or work related? Did john have friends where he arrived? Would John have asked another peer what the proper attire was? can the proper attire/apparel be classified as clothing? Could he have fit in by removing something he was wearing or did he need to add an item? or both? | ||

was john arriving at some social gathering? no concert? no religious? no was it a liesure arrivalnot exactly, but closer to this than to work or work related? no Did john have friends where he arrived? probably not... Would John have asked another peer what the proper attire was? maybe, but if he had he would have figured out the misunderstanding before he arrived can the proper attire/apparel be classified as clothing? No! Good Question. Could he have fit in by removing something he was wearing or did he need to add an item? or both?this | ||

Are we looking for the name or type of the event that could be misinterpreted? mostly the name--he misunderstood part of the name of the event (one word in particular). Because of this, he misunderstood for whom the event was. He knew what type of event it was. was everyone else wearing pretty much the same thing? yes--the thing that they wear distinguishes them from John was what they were wearing made out of a fabric? rubber? leather? some sort of plastic?this | ||

the posting said "football"..He thought it was U.S. football.. but it was soccer? YES, exactly! did he arrive with a helmet?yes--and shoulder pads, american football cleats, etc. and that is a *************SPOILER******** Let's pretend John lives in Adamsville, a fictional town in the US. He sees a sign which reads, "Adamsville Football Club, tryouts Monday. Wear full gear and be ready to play." John arrives and is wearing his helmet, shoulder pads, and cleats...it is when the others show up wearing shinguards that he realizes that the sign meant soccer, not american football. good job to sixtyeight for spoiling, and to all for participating! hope all enjoyed this, my very first lateral puzzle to host! |
