Ok, as some of you know i am a restaraunt manager.
At work we have 5 coffee pots arranged in the following manner
{decaf}{regular}{regular}{regular}{regular}
As the day goes on pots of regular are pulled until ultimately only 3 remain two regular and one decaf. ( if this seems excessive, please note that during breakfast this is roughly a five minute supply of coffee, and that by teh tim i left work this after noon we had sold 1300 orders in 9.5 hours)
Normally one would assume that the pots would be labeled by the type of coffee contained therein. However, the store I work at is to insane for that. Thus, they are both labeled and color coded. Decaf is tagged either yellow or pink. Regular is on white paper. (The labels have the time the coffee is too cold to serve, 2 hours after it has been brewed)
long ago some one hit on the idea that regular and decaf were crappy things to write and thus the game was born.
The four Regular pots will have 4 related thing written on them.
The fifth, the decaf pot, has a word which is similar but different .
the goal is to figure out why the decaf word doesn't fit.
the pots are removed by the same person who wrote them, the shift manager, thus the final 3 pots should demonstrate the difference better than the initial 5.
To play the game on the forum one will start with 5 pots
demonstrated as shown
{decaf} {regular} {regular} {regular} {regular}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gorbachev| Lenin | Stalin | Brezhnev | Krushchevin order to simplify the regular pots will be removed from right to left, Resulting in the final group being lenin ,stalin and gorbi.
(the connection here Soviet leaders, the exception ended teh union.)
finally this is the l ast trio fo todays coffe pots at work:
(think c++)
so the follwing thread is hopefully to make us all try to out fox each other in teh coffe game.
the person who gets the connection of the preceeding examples gets to set up th next set of pots.
So, this is the puzzle:
{decaf} {regular} {regular} {regular} {regular}
