NEW PA QUEST Boss, our policy against workplace romance is becoming a problem as more and more company couples are springing up. What should we do? Options: 1. Is there something in the water? I guess we have no choice but to ease up on the policy. 2. Let's take a scientific approach. Hire a dating company to rate the compatibility of all the employees and then reorganize so that only non-compatible people work together. 3. The policy is there for a reason! Make sure they know that any kissing on the premises will be a goodbye kiss! Answers: Are in the original post. |

NEW PA QUEST Boss, the workers are asking for a "Bring Your Pet To Work Day" but the facilities people are concerned about the mess and it might reduce production that day. 1. I love animals. Let's give the workers a day to share their pets, but no reptiles. 2. Let's allow it, but all pets will be kept in one central area and we'll give them extra breaks to visit them. 3. No way. Pets don't belong here. I uhh.. misclicked and hit number 3... Boss, the morale is impacted. Several employees call in sick citing "pet care" issues. (current production yield reduced by 5.0%, current retail revenue reduced by 2.5%) I did the first option, and it says "Sir, the workers had an amazing day. But the clean up took longer than expected and production was impacted. I also found a "special delivery" under your desk this morning - It is already cleaned up. (current production yield reduced by 5.0%, current retail revenue reduced by 2.5%)". It looks like the 2nd option is probably the best, as the first and third have the same negative effect. Edit: I guess I should've read the thread before making this post as Sand has already posted all the outcomes of the first 3 new PA quests. |

NEW PA QUEST I heard that the workers want us to establish a gaming room they can use to decompress during breaks and before and after shifts. This would have board games, video games, and even tables set up for role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons. Options: 1. Games give me a headache. We make things, we sell things. There's no gaming in business! 2. Gaming on breaks is fine but we won't subsidize it. 3. Great idea! Let's spend $20,000 on this and make sure there are devices running SimCompanies!

NEW PA QUEST A tax auditor is here and wants to go through the books to make sure we are paying our fair share. Options: 1. Oh no!

Let's hope they don't find anything too costly. Answers: in Original Post |

NEW PA QUEST Hey boss, a representative of the military is here and they are offering a special "boot camp" for corporate executives. It costs $30,000, but is supposed to dramatically improve their ethics, attitude, and ability. Options: 1. Awesome! Military training tends to be the best in the world. Sign them up! 2. It's a good idea but we can't afford it. Let's have our own boot camp. 3. No way, there's no relationship between ethics, attitude, and ability in business! Answers in Original Post |

NEW PA QUEST It appears there is a sort of "civil war" breaking out in the management team. About half of them want to apply Six Sigma principles to improve our processes and the other half all want to go with Agile techniques. It's getting really heated. What do we do? Options: 1. Striving for perfection is good. Let's use Six Sigma. 2. I like the idea of daily Scrum meetings. Let's go with Agile. 3. So war you say? Set up a massive paintball tournament and let them fight it out. Answers in Original Post |

You have a visitor, he looks like the wall street type, he said: "I have a once in a lifetime investment opportunity for you. I deal in new equity derivative instrument, it's very similar to a call option on a basket of ETFs, but has fluctuating strike price dependent on settlement price of unrelated commodity futures."[/b]
Well .. what? Em.. that's sounds like a great idea. I am in! Here's $2,000
The investment plummeted but then it picked up again. You made $2,080. The investment guy made a fortune.
I chose "Wait, what? I am not interested." and it had no effect.

"Boss, the kids were very happy with the eggs we gave them. As a thanks, they gave us their nicest decorated egg. (You get the legendary q7 egg)"
Q7 eggs aren't rare anymore, you can get one from "q7 eggs for sale" (company name) at just 1.51, it's not worth it anymore

The best use of the sausage quest is to scrap everything for a physics lab, then use the sausage quest on the physics lab. Technically you can still do the sausage quest without scrapping everything, but it is much more harder to do so with all your other buildings intact. The method for this is to make sure all other buildings are at least level 2 and leave the physics lab at level 1. Then before you go ahead with the sausage quest, downgrade all the other buildings to level 1, and then click upgrade on all of them. The sausage quest will pick a random building that isn't in the process of construction/upgrading. Random, but with conditions. I've restarted my game four times now, so I have had plenty of retries to test this theory out and I was right. I've also had a few other players report back to me that it worked exactly as I said it would. This way if you had a lot of level 2 buildings already, but don't want to scrap all and waste time in building and upgrading all over again, downgrading once and upgrading them is always a method. I had a level 3 mine when my sausage quest came up so instead of scrapping it, since it was a 100% mine when I got it, i had planned to upgrade it further, so i waited until i had enough funds to upgrade it, clicked upgrade, and downgraded my level 2 power plants and water reservoirs to level 1, clicked upgrade on them, and then submitted my 200 sausages and it focused on the only building that was not having construction/upgrade done to it: the physics lab. |

I've just had one not listed here:
Your business partner wants to upgrade her grocery store, and it will cost her $11,000. She doesn't have this kind of money, so she's considering borrowing it from her family with no interest. She estimates that she will earn 30 cents more on each purchase, and she has 100 purchases per hour and her store is open 24/7. She's asking you for advice on how long it will take her to pay off her loan.
Options:
- Less than 3 weeks, I am sure
- Less than 2 months, I am sure
- Less than 3 months, I am sure
I selected the first option and got the response:
Your partner borrowed money and was able to repay the loan in 16 days. She was so happy that she gave you half the extra profit from the remaining 5 days of the 3 weeks period as a thank you. You earned $1,800.
