    Interesting that the rate of teaspoon loss in the Communal tearoom remained steady regardless of the number of remaining teaspoons, while the loss of teaspoons in the Programme-linked Tearoom was initially steady, but plateaued once levels had dropped to a certain level.  To me, this suggests a certain, albeit low, level of almost Tribalism in the Programme-linked Tearoom (if I take the last spoon it will impact my close work friends/close colleagues; If I take the last teaspoon the pool of suspects is far lower and I might get caught – they know me too well, they know my ‘guilty face’) lacking in the Communal Tearoom with a far larger pool of suspects, many from other Tribes, and providing a lower chance of being discovered by comparative strangers.
