In any office in any country, go into the break room and make two cups of coffee. The second must be made with one-quarter milk, three teaspoons sugar, and one teaspoon coffee. One is for yourself and one for the Holder. Make sure you don't start to drink your coffee before the Holder comes.
When a man comes, someone you have never seen before in a white shirt and black pants, and asks you "Two sugars, right?", reply, "No, three, like usual." He will then smile and pick up the coffee, drinking it slowly. Only now may you drink yours. To do so beforehand would have meant your untimely end.
After he sets his mug down, ask him this and only this: "What's going to happen to the department after the merger?" He will then tell you, in horrible detail, what will happen. During this, you must NOT drink your coffee, as dry as your mouth will get, as cold as you will feel, don't drink for the coffee will burn you from the inside out.
Once the man stops talking and sips his coffee again, take a sip of your and say, "Do you have the report I asked for?" If he hands you anything other than a CD, drop it and turn away, leaving your office and never come back. If he hands you a CD, take it and thank him.
This object is 505 of 538. On it will be the reports of every merger ever attempted, failed or successful from the dawn of time 'til its end.
