Title: Ghost Town
Post by jenniegurl on Jun 26^th, 2005, 3:49pm

In a very exclusive restaurant, several dozen diners are eating a top-class meal upstairs. Downstairs, precisely the same meal is being served at the same number of empty places. Why?

[hide]The restaurant is so exclusive that each client has his own waiter (or have the food served by their batlers). The chef doesn't mind making double the quantity needed (or the clients respect so much their batlers) and serves the same for the waiters (or batlers) to eat afterwards (anyway, in some restaurants the materials bought are not so expensive, but the food is really overcharged).[/hide]

[hideb]They are at Hogwarts School of Magic, where the foods are prepared by house elves at the lower level, and magically transported to the upper level.[/hideb]

;D

It is the night before a big football game. Being the the best restauraunt in town both teams want to eat there, and since they are weathly pro athletes they have no problem affording it. To avoid any confrontations the teams are scheduled to eat on different floors. One of the teams is not there because their bus or plane is late.

Let's be practical: ;)
[hide]The top level is the not-reserved section, while the bottom level is for those who have reserved seats and are coming later.[/hide]

[hideb]Ok, then the sailors are divided into two groups and the second round is prepared for the other watch (shift) [/hideb]

Well, I would say the tide is low. Soon the water will raise the whole boat for a couple of meters. To make sure the guests will still have a meal in front of them after the boat rose, they serve the same meal downstairs.

Uh... just joking.

Maybe it is such a select restaurant that the same meal is served downstairs so that in case it would start to rain, the host could invite the guests inside to finish their meal.

Is that the answer? I thought it might have a glass floor or something so everything would be "the same". That probably was stupid though...lol.

There can't be a "the answer" to questions like these ;)
