ANSWER: L.T.Q. #11

Date: Friday, August 25, 1995 9:51AM

The White Lions at the Metro Toronto Zoo were way cool! There's only 28 of them left in the world, and they're only here until September 10th (1995), so get out to see them if you can!

So, from this collection of mini-mysteries...
Here is this week's question:

Betty signals to the headwaiter in a restaurant, and says, "There's a fly in my tea." The waiter says, "No problem, madam. I will bring you a fresh cup of tea." A few minutes later Betty shouts, "Get the manager! This is the same cup of tea!" How did she know?

ANSWER:

Betty had already put sugar in her tea before sending it back. When the "new" cup came, it was already tasted sweet.
