No, just the contract.
I think this can be pulled together at this point. What do you think might have happened since this involves the specific contract he had for car racing? He was very good at his job.
Did the contract include less money for repairs/replacement, since it was assumed he wouldn’t wreck his car? I don’t really know how contracts for car racing work, but it’d be funny.
Did he lose the money to buy himself out of a contract to free himself up for a bigger one (e.g. to switch teams)?
My first thoughts when I saw this problem were a) Brewster’s Millions and b) Trump saying his business losses were for tax purposes.
NO.
NOPE.
Was a lawsuit somehow involved?
NO, although I think there could have been legal action. There was not, though. Strange.
Looks like this faded, so here is the answer:
This is based on the story of Kimi Raikkonen, race car driver.
Lotus hired him assuming that he would do OK, but not that great. They offered him 50,000 Euros per point he earned.
He outperformed so much, they owed him more than they could pay. They owed him €19.5 million based on his performance.
He took €6 million less than the owed amount, basically proving him to be a very nice guy.
You can read the story here:
A man is driving past a diner and he sees an ambulance outside. He immediately can tell that whoever is being helped is either seriously injured, very unwell, or dead. How does he know?
Is it something about the ambulance that clued him in?
Something about any other vehicles?
Something about the diner?
Are they not bothering with the siren lights, figuring, in this situation, what’s the point?
Is the man responsible for what happened in the restaurant?
Sorry for the yes-and-no answers, but those actually might be helpful responses.
NO
IRRELEVANT. Could be, could be not. Does not factor into the story.
Is there some indication that the situation is less urgent, as Waldo_Pepper suggested?
Does the time of day matter?
Was the diner open or closed?
OPEN
Just so I understand: This man (or could be a woman or child?) is not related to anyone in the story prior to coming upon this scene, right. He has no preconditions to the scene. You or I could walk up upon this scene tomorrow and make the same deduction? It is not dependent on knowledge of other events? For example if it was 9/11 then ambulances have more pressing needs and would only be responding to a highly life-threatening situation. If it was during the height of Covid or in a war zone then an ambulance appearing somewhere is probably more than routine.
I have broken up your quote to tackle the questions and statements.
Is the location of the diner relevant, ie, is it right next to a doctor’s surgery ?
Does this onlooker pick up a clue from the way the ambulance has been parked?
From the way the personnel on the scene appear to be conducting themselves?
Is it relevant that this is a diner rather than some other type of business?
Actually, you are so close, I’ll call this one solved.
The diner is literally across the street from the hospital. If they called an ambulance for such a short distance, the patient must be severely injured or unable to get themself across the street to the E.R.
