Tom and Sam go to the zoo. Sam walks up to the balloon man and asks for a balloon. Sam realizes he forgot to get money and the balloon man says that he will be waiting at the same spot in the zoo.
Sam goes home to get the money while Tom waits at the zoo and after waiting a bit the balloon man tells Tom that business is slow and that he is going to the fairgrounds near by.
The balloon man passes Sam's house on the way to the fairgrounds and they spot each other and the balloonman tells Sam that he will be at the fairgrounds instead. Sam gets the money and heads out to the fairgrounds.
After 10 minutes Tom comes over to Sam's house and Sam's mom says that Sam has gone to get a balloon. Tom runs out looking for Sam before Sam's mom can say anything else.
Q where will Tom look for Sam and why? (Answer below..The justification is important since that precludes fluke answers and guesses)
A -->in the zoo and because (any of the 3 below is a valid response...it HAS to be one of the 3 below)
1>thats where Sam said he'd return/Tom will look in zoo
2>he doesn't know Sam and balloonman have spoken again
3>Tom doesn't know Sam knows that balloon man has moved

B because Tom doesn't know the man has spoken to Sam. Duh I saw this in the Parent's Discussion.
