I've been thinking about puzzles lately. They can be good team building activities! So here's one to work on;
110020011102011’103 001 033032011-103110033102121 020033111103011 021032 113020021003020 011112011102121110020021032013 021103 121011030030033113. 121011030030033113 113001030030103, 121011030030033113 010033033102103, 121011030030033113 012111102032021110111102011. 113020001110 003033030033102 001102011 110020011 103110001021102103?

no worries!!

[holeful]

I mean I'm perfectly capable of buying food for myself! That's not a very convincing bribe.

[evoked]

Really? It would work on me.

[holeful]

I think a lot of the enjoyment people get from food is the communal aspect of shared meals and that's not really something I can relate to.

[evoked]

You prefer being alone?

[holeful]

I wouldn't say prefer it, but it's just been how things went for me!

[evoked]

I just like food because it's food myself. But it does have something better when eaten with others, you're right.

[holeful]

Aah. So food given to me by someone else isn't going to be any different than food I bought myself, you see?

[evoked]

Then what about a meal together?

[holeful]

[!!!]

You know solving the puzzle doesn't get you anything, right? You'd risk having to eat with a stranger just to know the answer?

[evoked]

Sure, why not? I'm curious but lazy.

[holeful]

Well, if you're sure! I'm not going to tell you the answer, but I could ask you the riddle that the code decrypts to?

[evoked]

That saves me from the math. I'm good with that deal.

[holeful]

Great! Here's the riddle then;

There’s a one-story house in which everything is yellow. Yellow walls, yellow doors, yellow furniture. What color are the stairs?

[evoked]

That depends on whether or not there are any stairs leading to nowhere.

[holeful]

Nope! It's a normal one story house.
