Hi.

Thinking back, the original plan was to delegate two objects to each person and then on the second day (at 2pm), we were going to show the lowest prices we could find for our items and then continue by finding the other items we each didn't look at.

Stacey not appearing at 2pm seemed to slow things down but I think people continued to look for items regardless. For this task, Stacey being absent really wasn't an issue.

Okay, thank you for your responses.

We're now going to get down to revealing the results of the task. Starting with the hotel room, David can you please tell me what price each team got for that?

I'm sure we said 7pm rather than two? Because Stacey said she wasn't going to be around during the day yesterday, so we agreed in the evening. But then she didn't turn up then, and we haven't heard from her since.

Ah, yes we changed it from 2pm to 7pm. I remember now.
