+# Which variables are available?
+
+The function `makeWorker` below makes another function and returns it. That new function can be called from somewhere else.
+
+Will it have access to the outer variables from its creation place, or the invocation place, or both?
+
+```js
+function makeWorker() {
+  let name = "Pete";
+
+  return function() {
+    alert(name);
+  };
+}
+
+let name = "John";
+
+// create a function
+let work = makeWorker();
+
+// call it
+work(); // what will it show?
+```
+
+Which value it will show? "Pete" or "John"?
