Brain Teasers
The Birthday Gift
Oberon and Titania went to the toy store to buy their niece Ariel a birthday present. While they were shopping, a helpful employee named Rosalind helped them select a picture book entitled "Cordelia goes to the Beach". When they got home they called Ariel's mother, Portia, just to make sure that they didn't already have this book. Unluckily, Ariel had already received that book for Christmas, so Oberon and Titania went back to the store. This time, Belinda helped them select a different book. Which book did they select?
1. Sammy the Snake Eats a Cake
2. Bianca Bubbles Buys a Balloon
3. Martha has a Pet Monkey
4. Lysander Tells a White Lie

Clever, I couldn't find that connection!
Nice!

i didnt get the conection
I actually knew about the Shakespearean names with Portia and Titania from a recent reading of Julius Caesar, but I merely thought it a clever spicing to the teaser and not actually something to do with the teaser itself.
Nice job.

I feel dumber and dumber as the trivia flies by

Huh? So all the names in the teaser are moons of Uranus/Shakespeare characters. What made them choose that book? PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!
