Before leaving for the night club, Preston informed us all about the nature of the club.
"This club is unique in my experience. I'm sure all of you will find the decor beautiful and impressive. I'm equally certain that you will love the music. Almost all of the music is designed for slow dancing in keeping with the ambiance of the club. All guests have individual tables, so we will not be seated together. There will a table for each couple and two tables for the four members of the evaluation team."
"When you enter, you will notice that some of the tables, including yours, do not have a light on the table. You will have no problem seeing, but the light on your table will not be lit. Other tables will have either a blue or red light. Each table has a large elevated sign with a number on it. There will also be a telephone on each table. If your table's light were lit, your phone would be activated allowing you to call any other table in the room whose light was also lit. Since our lights will all be out, you will not be able to call anyone nor will anyone be able to call you. So enjoy yourselves as you would in any night club. Any questions?"
Sonia had one. "Well, I just have to ask. First, why are our lights not lit and second, if they were lit, what could we and others do, and finally, third, what's the difference between the blue or red light colors?"
Preston laughed, "I knew someone might one of those questions. I'm surprised at one person thinking to ask all three."
"Our lights will not be lit tonight because we want that decision to be a personal one. Since none of you are familiar with the club, you cannot make this decision properly. Later in the week, we will visit the club again. At that visit, each of you can decide for yourselves whether you want your light lit or not and whether your want it to be blue or red."
"I've already told you that if your light is lit, you can call other tables and persons at tables with their light on can call you. If your light is blue, you can accept the request of the caller or you can reject it. If your light is red, you cannot reject any request as long as it is within the rules of the club and comes from a table whose light is red."
"The club will furnish all of you with a complete copy of the rules and later in the week you can decide if you prefer your light to remain out or be lit, blue or red. Have fun."
