| A good one. I think people who live in England or Anglophiles (like me) will truly "get it". Keep up the good work.  |

| No way! It should be afternoon tea because after noon is T(ea). |

| We agrees with Sammy, we does,'cause whoever heard of "noon tea"? Everyone knows proper teatime is three in the afternoon, although some of the coarser classes call it "tea" as late as 5 0. Having been brought up proper, however, none of my acquaintance would EVER call NOON "tea". It would make dear old Mater shudder! And whatever would Emily Post and Miss Manners say? I mean!

| Afternoon Tea is a much more appropriate answer, because the T is after noon, and because "Noon Tea" doesn't make any sense (at least where I live). |

| Plus, it could be "Midnight Tea". You never said that it was 12 0 PM! |

| It's also sort of common sense though. |

| I thought it was "tea time", but "afternoon tea" works too. |

| Have to agree, afternoon T is definitely the best answer. Thanks for posting.  |

| Who Knew? If in the real world Afternoon Tea is at 3 0 PM, then this Teaser is Wrong. The Teaser should have appeared 12 0 indicating afternoon, T for Tea Time, and 3 More like this 12 0 T-3. The time is Wrong as it stands if tea time is at 3 0. The 12 0 only indicates, the afternoon portion of the Rebus, and T-3 represents time of event type. I love Braingle. You learn something new everyday, literally. You guys and dolls are great with Math. This was great.  |
