PROBLEM: Passage: I went to the library because that is where you can get the forms you need to file when you pay your taxes . There was a wall full of different forms , and each form also had an instruction booklet . I picked out the form I needed , grabbed the instruction booklet and went home .

PROBLEM: Passage: Finally ! It was Halloween and I had been invited to a costume party for that night . I had thought quite a bit about what costume I should wear . Go as a mummy ? A pirate ? Maybe a zombie ? Hmmmm ? So many possibilities . I wanted to be comfortable and not get too hot with a large crowd of people expected . So a couple of weeks before Halloween I went online and found a beautiful western style shirt , bluejeans , a cowboy hat and boots . Even bought a belt , and fake gun and holster . I had tried everything on after they arrived . Somehow everything fit great . So when evening came I dressed for the party , checked myself in the mirror and added the final touch - a nice shiny five pointed star that said " Sheriff " on it . Question: When did they decide on a cowboy sheriff? Option1: that night Option2: a couple weeks before the party

SOLUTION:
a couple weeks before the party
