no thats not correct. what if the soup tasted good and needed no seasoning
ok here is my answer:
Quote:
i recently was eating a bowl of soup at restuarant and i noticed a fly in it. i called the waiter and said "there is a fly in my soup you...um...use ur imagination here." i demanded a new bowl of soup and told the waiter to not take the fly out and return me the same bowl. the waiter returned with what he told me was a new bowl. a minute later i called the waiter over again and told him that this is the same bowl as before. how did i know?
i tasted the soup and then noticed the fly, nothing new there. now before calling over the waiter i added salt. alot of salt. i added so much salt a person without tastebuds could taste the salt in the soup. when the soup came back without the fly, i knew it was the same bowl because of the extremely salty taste. also would have worked with pepper
this in my answer

Yes, i understand where you are coming from, but if i was to salt it alot because that is how i like my soup, and then try it, then realise the fly, i would know the exact taste, and when i get the soup back, i would realise it was already heavily salted, and therefore is my original soup.. The chef would never put too much salt, in fact they put hardly any because some people cant eat salt..
How is that any different to my answer? I wrote salt it alot, so did you, and i wrote i would realise it was already heavily salted, and therefore is my original soup.. I believe that is the same answer as the one you posted! also i even mentioned previously it could have been done with pepper too..

u said u want to salt it alot because that is how u like ur soup. what if someone doesnt like salt in thier soup and the suop was just fine how it was served(except for the fly). to me u didnt indicate that u put in salt to make it disgusting to eat, but to adjust it to ur liking to the soup.
i put the salt in to make the soup taste very bad to anyone. u put in salt to make it taste better to u

but why go into a restaurant to buy soup if you plan on ruining it?? Thats just a waste of money and would never happen..
People however do go into restaurants and put in lots of salt for flavour (such as me) without killing the taste, and i can definitly tell the difference between my soup and someone elses and if it was returned id know if it was new or not..
I'm sorry dont mean to be a pain in the ass i just wanted you to see my point.

the way i identified the soup as being the same was through the extremly salty taste. i didnt want to ruin the soup originally, but i did after finding the fly so no one would eat it. so i ruined the soup after finding the fly to know if the soup came back to me

ok svarog i'll just clean some things up:
-i want new soup
-i want a new bowl
-i want the fly taken out
-i didnt recieve new soup
-i didnt recieve a new bowl
-the fly was taken out
-i recieved the same soup in a different bowl
-how did i know that the same soup was returned to me?
-the fly is an animal not alphabet soup
You didn't receive a "new bowl", but you received a "different bowl" :S
I am completely lost there. First, you say "-i didnt recieve a new bowl".
I conclude that you were returned the very first bowl which contained the very first soup which contained the fly-only this time without the fly.
Than you say "-i recieved the same soup in a different bowl"
I conclude that you were returned a different bowl* which contained the very first soup which contained the fly.
*not the the very first bowl which contained the very first soup which contained the fly
:S

The four men were musicians in a band or some type of musical group (orchestra, whatever). They played for an audience. Their 'scores' were the music they produced. When they got paid their 'gold' or money, they all came away with some. Just a guess...
