Below is an excerpt from the deposition of my client being examined by opposing counsel. Each number on the left side of text is a line number and each page has 25 lines. Each number which is preceded by “00” is a page number, and each page number refers to the previous 25 lines of text. If the testimony relates to a document that has been marked as an exhibit, then use the exhibit number when referencing the document, if that information is available; if not available, leave a placeholder for me to input the number. When information you are relying on for questions and answers bridges multiple pages, indicate that in the page/line citations. If there is a nonspecific temporal reference, try to infer the date or time of that reference from the broader context, instead of just saying things like “at that time,” etc. With all of the foregoing in mind, please prepare trial questions and answers extrapolated from the below text in this format:
Q: [Question]
A: [Answer] (transcript citation format: [Page number]:[Line number]start - [Line number]end)
Deposition transcript text begins:

Geez...and to think my prompt is 1/10th of yours and works fine with correct page numbers too and I've only been doing this deposition summary gig for 2 weeks. Keep it simple. What I just read was insanity.
