In the following wikileaks email release, https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/50332,
Herb Sandler messaged John & Mary Podesta,
"I think you should give notice when changing strategies which have been long in place. I immediately realized something was different by the shape of the box and I contemplated who would be sending me something in the square shaped box. Lo and behold, instead of pasta and wonderful sauces, it was a lovely, tempting assortment of cheeses, Yummy. I am awaiting the return of my children and grandchildren from their holiday travels so that we can demolish them.
Thank you so much. I hope you and your gang are well.
I miss you both
Best wishes fro a merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Herb
Ps. Do you think I'll do better playing dominos on cheese than on pasta?"
(b) The second sentence states,
" I immediately realized something was different by the shape of the box and I contemplated who would be sending me something in the square shaped box. "
(1) So evidently the strategy was using an unusual type of box other than the standard square box,
(A) agree
(B) Disagree
(C) not sure
(2) Since the identity of the sender could not be instantly known by the shape of the box, Sandler had to "contemplate" who sent it.
Evidently, contemplation is a more serious "mulling over" than a mere 'guess the mystery sender" scenarion

(A) Agree
(B) Disagree, will provide a reason
(C) Not sure
(3) Sandler also had to seriously consider who sent it, because no "contemplation" would be required if the Podesta's names & address info was on the box, as what most people do when sending a package in case something goes wrong in transit and needs to be returned.
(A) Agree
(B) DIsagree
(C) Not sure
(4) If some one were to send an illegal
product of some sort such as ch!ld P-rn pictures or drugs, and they didn't want to get caught, they would
(A) Definitely not put their return address info on the box
(B) Put their name & address on the box in case it needed to be returned due to a logistical discrepancy so they'd still get their precious cargo back.
(5) If there were a known anonymous or pseudonymous transaction between sender & receiver of illegal goods being sent through the mail , and the BOTH the sender AND receiver wanted to know who sent what , a box with a shape other than the normal square shape would be a good identifier.
(A) agree
(B) Disagree, ill give reasons
(C)Not sure
(c)
3rd sentence, " Lo and behold, instead of pasta and wonderful sauces, it was a lovely, tempting assortment of cheeses,"
Okay, a surface reading of the first two sentences could be that Herb was being sarcastic and using hyperbole calling something as simple as sending a package of a holiday cheese sampler by calling it a "strategy," and having to "contemplate" instead of simply "guess" the surprise sender, and perhaps John always sent a box with a special kind of pasta and a variety of "wonderful sauces"
(1) However an assortment of pasta sauces, including the pasta would make for somewhat of a large box.
in the 2nd sentence, Sandler is talking about the SHAPE of the box being different in strategy rather than the SIZE of the box.
(a) agreed
(b) disagree, will explain
(c)not sure
(2) Do you think this email details a rich power broker year after year (long held) sending another rich power broker pasta and different sauces in an unusually shaped box every year as a tradition , with the receiver being taken off guard by a different box than the usual and having to seriously mull over who could have sent it, then being elated ("yummy") about a LOVELY & TEMPTING assortment of cheeses?
(A) Yes
(B) No
(C) Unsure
(3) Would people send & want to receive illegal goods in a box with nothing to shield it from being discovered?
(A) Absolutely
(B) No
(C) Maybe
(4) In order to disguise the illegal goods being mailed, would hiding them in a package of holiday food items be an effective "strategy" ?
(A) Yes
(B)No
(C) not sure
(5) With Christmas time being the busiest time of the year for the courier industry , would sending illegal goods be a good "strategy" since the package would be the proverbial "needle in a haystack"?
(A) Yes
(B)No
(C) not sure
(6) Could Sandler have received illegal goods plus a holiday food item in the package, and been using a code of some sort, plus really describing his gratitude the holiday cheese sampler?
(A) Yes
(B)No
(C) Maybe
(7) When someone refers to something or someone else as "lovely & tempting", the connotation usually refers, more of ten than not to
(a) something sexual
(b) something culinary
(8) Have you referred or ever heard someone refer to food items as "lovely & tempting" ?
(a) Yes
(b) no
(d)
(1) 4th sentence reads, "Ps. Do you think I'll do better playing dominos on cheese than on pasta?"
(a) This sentence describes an act that sounds like total nonsense, and would have to be code in order to make more sense
(b) This sentence makes sense. Playing Dominos on cheese and pasta does sound strange, but maybe Sandler & Podesta really do that. They are not using code at all.
(c) Not sure, they might be using code.
(2) SInce boys & girls are self evidently & indisputably different, and if there is such thing as pedophile code words, would they use two different terms to denote the opposite sexes ?
(A) Yes
(B) No, i will explain why not
(C)Maybe
(3) If this sentence is code for something, does it qualify the usages of the words , "cheese" & "pasta" as code as well ?
(A) Yes
(B) No, i will explain
(C) Maybe
(4)If he is using the code as displayed by Anonymous, the sentence would read, "Do you think I'll do better with bondage on little girls than on little boys?"
Without implying that he is really saying that, and just looking at it as a sentence, does that event make more sense as an action that people do in contrast to actually playing the game dominos on say a block of cheeese or on a plate of pasta ?
(A) Yes
(B) No, playing an actual game of dominos on cheese and/or pasta makes alot more sense
(C) Not sure
If all Podesta sent was a surprise christmas care package of cheeses in a different box instead of "the usual" pasta & sauces year in & year out, why couldn't Sandler have said something to the effect of, "Hey John, different box than usual over the years. Although i really love the pasta & sauces, these cheeses are great. Kinda had to guess who sent it, but when i saw who sent it, I knew it was going to be great"
Would you call a simple scenario like that "a change in strategy, and then having to "contemplate" the sender ?
