Yet nobody is annoyed or surprised. I think that this one either goes really fast or takes quite a while. Let's see (: And I currently have five puzzles in the Active Puzzles section, but two of them are solved. Feel free to have a look at my unsolved puzzles "Better call an ambulance" and "Scrund Day" too.

Are the questions being asked to the same person? Are interviews involved?

She always asks the same "group" of people, although they're not necessarily the same people. It'd be helpful to find out what they have in common. Sophie's profession is very relevant, but so far we've only ruled out some fields: She does NOT work in education, entertainment, politics, market research, law enforcement, religion, health care or customer support, and she's not a cheerleader either. People can hear her but not see her because she's speaking over a loudspeaker. One person answers her questions, but this might be misleading and has already caused an FA. HINT: I earlier said that the nature of the questions is relevant.

I think I'll put the pieces together now since there's not much left to figure out. ********SPOILER******** "Sophie" is the friendly voice who announces the stops on the Paris metro. She announces every stop twice - the first time, she raises her voice at the end so that it sounds like a question, and the second time, she "answers" them. At the beginning, I found this somewhat strange because "Sophie" should know that the next stop is "Monceau" :D And of course she also reminds us to mind the gap and to keep our belongings with us at all times. Nice work, guys, and thumbs up for Kaylee's and Alice's final questions! Please have a look at my rulebreaker that I'll post in a minute (:
