1. Where and when did a woman steal a police officer’s chips? In a pizza restaurant in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night. (В пиццерии в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, в среду вечером.)
2. What happened each time the woman took one of the officer’s chips? The officer asked her to stop after the first chip. After she took another, he explained that it was theft. When she took a third chip, he arrested her. (После первой чипсины полицейский попросил её остановиться. Когда она взяла ещё одну, он объяснил, что это кража. После третьей он её арестовал.)
3. Why did a group of children and adults form a human arrow? They wanted to guide the police helicopter to two suspicious men running across a field. (Они хотели указать полицейскому вертолёту направление к двум подозрительным мужчинам, бежавшим через поле.)
4. How did the story of the human arrow end for the criminals, the police and the children and adults? The police caught the two men and charged them with suspected burglary. The police thanked the children and adults for their quick reaction. (Полиция поймала двух мужчин и предъявила им обвинение в предполагаемом взломе со проникновением. Полицейские поблагодарили детей и взрослых за быструю реакцию.)
5. What do we know about the work of art that the old lady destroyed? It was a work called Reading Work Piece by Arthur Koepcke, worth almost $$90,000. It included an old crossword and a sign saying “Insert words”. (Это была работа Артура Кёпке под названием «Reading Work Piece» стоимостью почти 90 000 долларов. Она включала старый кроссворд и табличку со словами «Вставьте слова».)
6. Why did the elderly woman say she wrote on the work of art? She said she was simply following the artist’s instructions. (Она сказала, что просто следовала указаниям художника.)
7. Why do the police think the elderly woman wrote on the crossword? They thought it was probably a misunderstanding: she may have been confused by the interactive artwork and its instruction to insert words. (Полиция решила, что, вероятно, произошло недоразумение: женщину могла сбить с толку интерактивная работа и указание вставить слова.)
