Lateral thinking (Posted on 2003-02-24) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A stranger walks into a bar and puts a pound coin on the counter and asks for half a pint of bitter. The barmaid asks him whether he would like Guinness or Worthington. The stranger asks for Guinness. Another complete stranger comes into the bar, puts a pound on the counter and also asks for half a pint of bitter. The barmaid immediately pulls half a pint of Guinness. How did she know what the second man, who was completely unknown to her, wanted?

(think in a crooked way for this one)

don't you think Cory that you are considering a particular case instead of a general one ? Secondly you have written: "you're expected to tip", which means you'll pay the tip only if you want to (that is, it is expected from you, but you are not bound to do so).
