Task brief
The task brief is in the possession of a man seated in a director’s chair in the study. The brief for the task is as follows:
Get to know this person.
Your knowledge of this person will be tested in 10 minutes.
You may not write anything down, and you must take turns asking different questions.
This person will tell the truth, lie, and brag, in this order, but not necessarily starting with the truth.
Your time starts now.
