Problem: M: I'm seven. I'll be eight this October. What was said before this conversation?

A: F: Could you tall me how old you are, Jim?
Problem: Given the question: W: Don't ask me. M: What do you mean? Did something go wrong? W: Susan thought I had said I would meet her at the Department Store at 2:30 when I really said 2 o'clock. Then she thought I had said the main entrance in the front when I really said the east entrance. M: Well, did you ever get together? W: Yes, but it's a wonder that we did. I had given up waiting and had gone inside to the women's clothing department. She had done the same thing. We met by accident. By that time it was 3 o'clock. M: Did you get what you wanted? I remember you said you wanted to get a sweater. W: No, a blouse. But by that time, the ones on sales were all gone. So I settled for a skirt. What was said before this conversation?

input question: M: Oh, yes, they are on your desk. What was said before this conversation????
output answer: W: Dad, I can't find my magazines. Have you seen them?
W: Well, to be honest, it was quite disappointing. M: You didn't like the speeches? W: Yes, I did. In fact, I enjoyed listening to most of the speeches. But I just couldn't accept the result, you know. M: Hmm, you mean the judges? W: I mean most of the listeners including me didn't understand why the judges didn't like Samantha. It was such a shock when they announced the winner was Jim. We all thought Samantha's pronunciation was the best. M: You're probably right. But don't you think the speech itself is more important? As I see it, Jim's speech was more meaningful. I was deeply moved by the story he told us. W: But, in my opinion, we also learned something very important from Samantha's speech. M: That's right. Samantha and Jim were indeed very close. I guess it was difficult for the judges. W: Well, I wish I could agree with you. But I do think Samantha was the best. What was said before this conversation?

[Q]: M: Umm... I want to know when "Operation Red Sea" is showing today. W: There are 6 showings today, one in the morning, another at noon, and then 3 p.m., 6 p.m., 9 p. m., and a midnight showing. M: OK, I want 5 tickets for the 9 p.m. showing tonight. Are there still 5 tickets available that are seated together? W: I'm sorry, there are only 3 tickets left. How about the 6 p.m. showing? There are still 7 tickets left for that show. M: But we have a date for dinner at 5 p.m., so we won't make the beginning of the movie. W: So would you like to see another movie? "Detective China Town 2" is very popular, too. M: No, we all want to see this one. Is there any way that we could buy tickets now for Friday's screens? W: You can order tickets right now for the next three days. It's Wednesday today. So, that's OK. What time would you like? M: The 9 p.m. showing. I think there might be more people who want to see the movie on Friday. How many tickets can I buy at one time? W: The limit for advanced tickets is 10. M: OK, I'll have 8 tickets for the showing of "Operation Red Sea". Are the tickets available? W: Yes, you're lucky. M: By the way, when can I pick up the tickets? W: You can have them right now if you pay for them. M: Great! Thanks! What was said before this conversation?
