“This is my second order of shutters from you folks. I am more than pleased with them. The workmanship is superb. My husband who unpacked them and runs a manufacturing business of his own said, 'This is the best packing job I've ever seen'. Carolyn C.“

8. The Contract
Stephen was about to leave the country but wanted to hand some important documents to his partner, Dave, personally on his way to the airport. When he phoned, Stephen got Dave’s answering machine, but knowing that Dave was in the habit of checking for messages at regular intervals he said, "Dave, this is important! I have the Duplex Corporation contract which must be exchanged this afternoon. Please meet me without fail in exactly forty minutes at the corner of 5th Avenue and 55th Street. I can only wait for five minutes, but it’s all I need to hand you the papers and give you verbal instruction of a highly confidential nature. Thank you." At that moment the limousine arrived to take Stephen to JFK airport.

The car arrived at the designated corner with three minutes to spare. Stephen had the car wait, confident that Dave would arrive at any moment. After ten minutes, when Dave did not turn up, Stephen was forced to continue to the airport even though an important deal was in jeopardy. Why did Dave, who had, incidentally, heard the message in good time and was not physically prevented, not meet his partner?

Answer:
When Stephen telephoned Dave’s message machine, he forgot to say what time it was when he phoned, making it impossible for Dave to know from what time the "40 minutes" started.
