Jerry ate the breakfast that Adelaide offered him, but for the opposite reason she intended. Why? | ||

did Adelaide have a reason for offering him that particular choice of food? or just feeding him in general? did Adelaide think he was hungry? that he needed particular nutrients? was Jerry sick? are Jerry and Adelaide related? is she giving him breakfast as part of his job? | ||

Did she base her food offering what she perceived to be: his preference in partner (e.g. did she think he was gay)? his favorite color? a sound/music preference? a visual preference? a texture/touch preference? a smell preference? | ||

Was Jerry actually hungry? Did he want breakfast? Did he ask Adelaide for it? Should we ascertain what the breakfast consisted of? Did Adelaide think she was doing a good deed? something charitable? | ||

Yes Or vice-versa? **********SPOILER********** Adelaide passed out bagels to her co-workers as a means of campaigning for Obama. Jerry, a Romney supporter, decided that his eating the bagel symbolized defeating Obama, so he ate the bagels. Nice solve Noel. New puzzle in a bit. |
