Initially, the mastermind obtains the correct answer-key. AU the others create their answer-key from one or two people who already possess the same. These people are called his/her "'sources". If the person has two sources. then he/she compares the answer-keys obtained for both sources. If the key to a question from both sources is identical, it is copied, otherwise, it is left blank.

Samir recalled that a former colleague, Lalit (who was also Kishen's former boss) has made few remarks on Kishen in his appraisal report. In his opinion, Kishen was not fit for further promotion as he was emotionally unstable to work in groups in spite of the fact that he had seven years of work experience. Lalit has described Kishen as to author it alive to work under anyone. Lalit has further told Samir that Kishen had an ailing wife and an old mother, who does not want to stay with his wife.
