Brain Teasers
Psychic Cafe
A man walked into Sam and Ellas's Cafe and sat down at a table exactly two and one quarter feet from the window.
The first waitress with straight hair came over to take his order but he sent her away and asked for the waitress with curly hair to take his order.
He ordered a cucumber and cheddar cheese sandwich, a cup of cuban coffee and a chocolate chelsea bun.
After taking the order the curly haired waitress immediately said,
"You must be in the army".
She was right, but how did she know?

Great hint. It was a giveaway.
Great fun! *lol*
Yeah thanks for the hint. It saved me a lot of brain strain. Had me laughing that one - Bewdy!
the difficulty rating is very low - how many people got this right before they actually saw the hint or answer?
That was a very clever joke!!!!!
Funny....
great one
I Love it. This is a true 'trick' brain teaser. The answer is so obvious once you already know it!
I got it right away. It was cute though. And I especially liked the hint which I read afterwards.
very easy, I just skimmed the teaser and came up with the answer right away. Once the teaser gave details like "two and one quarter feet..." or " The first waitress with straight hair...", I knew the answer would have nothing to do with those details.
to ez
very nice job. I really enjoyed this teaser.

I got it right without looking at the answer, but what's the deal with the hint? Can someone help me translate?
This teaser deserves to be in a trick category all its own. LOVED IT
A great lighthearted teaser. I had a fantastic time with it.
u really tricked me on that with all this story.Gooooooood.
Ha Ha Ha, "Sam and Ella's"......er...I don't get it!
good trick teasers make u kick yourself for not knowing the answer. this one did just that. good job!
A "red herring" is something that seems to be a clue to a question, mystery, or anything else like that, but it is just useless info.
I laughed at the hint. lol
I added this to my list of favorites just because of that hint, that has to be the funniest line I've come across while browsing the teasers,
Didnt evn have to look at hint
I just realized this: Couldn't the answer also be because she's psychic... It is a psychic cafe
Very good teaser!
I agree with Jessicag, its a true trick teaser, when you see the answer you wonder why you didn't think of it!
WAY too easy, once I realized there were WAY too many details.
That dude sure likes the letter "c"
lol "Sam and Ella" sounds like "Salmonella"
I figured it out so easy, good anyways! alot better than the one I'm trying to get in! XD
hehe... communist's fish tank... hehe. great teaster but just a little too easy
Easy one!
u didn't tell us that!
I think the communist fish tank thing is stereotypical.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
2 ez; the details should have been more cryptic?
Lol this is probably my favorite trick teaser so far. I added it to my favorites
