I can do it pretty much anytime I want. That's the nature of it. But, because I make sure to do it at a specific time, I end up with more money. |

A little old lady walking by your house every day, and you mug her every thursday because it has turned out that she carries a lot of money then? Have you discovered this phenomenon by trial and error? Are the money transferred directly to your bank account? "Do it" - say something? Is it relevant where you are when you "do it"? Do you provide a service for someone? |

Methinks it be time to investigate the "it" of the statement... So if you do "it" at a particular time you're rewarded with a gift certificate(s)? Does the gift come from some level of government? Public utility? Private organization? Anything to do with recycling? Using less of some resource? Not driving? Is it more doing something, vs. avoiding doing something? |

Do you work in a bar/restaurant? Does this take place in the bar you work in? Is it relevant who does work on Thursday afternoons? Is that the only time the person who gives you the money is on their own, so they can afford to slip you a few extra tokens? so is the money something like beer tokens? vouchers? Are you entitled to the money because you do it? If went there on a Thursday afternoon and did it would I get some money? the same amount as you? |

Ok, because this part is really nit-picky, I'll just lay it out. I get "in-house cash" at the restaurant in the form of a gift-card that gives me credit off my tab whenever I use it. Whether you want to view the card as the money or the money that I don't spend in lieu of the card is irrelevant |

I've been assuming you mean the people who run the restaurant, and that's how I've been answering. If you need to, please rephrase any questions where you meant anyone else by "they," such as the person who gives me the money, or the person who works on Thursday evenings. |

Does the person who gives you the money work at the restaurant? The person who gives you the money and the person who works on Thursday evenings are the same person right? Can we call them Bob? I think all lateral puzzles should have someone called Bob. And the restaurant owners - is it safe to assume there's only one of them and call her Ann? Then: If you didn't do it, would Ann ever find out? would Bob? Would Bob still give you the money if he knew you hadn't done it? Would Ann object if she knew Bob gave you money? Doe she know? When you met Bob, was it in the restaurant? Did you already know his job before you met him? Did you meet him as a results of your relevant common interst? Would you describe your common interst as a hobby? |

Does he work inside the restaurant but not work for the restaurant? selling roses? as an entertainer? Does he work in the restaurant and somewhere else as well?

Does whatever you do on a Thursday afternoon make you more likely to know the answer to the trivia questions? Do you read something? play some other trivia game? watch/listen to some quiz show? When Bob gives you money, is it as a prize in the quiz that he runs? |

Sorry, I've been so busy lately!!! SPOILER Every Thursday evening I play "team trivia" at a restaurant/pub in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The way it is set up is that there is a "trivia guy"/DJ who reads questions out over the speaker system, and then plays a song. Each team has until the end of the song to bring their written answer to the DJ. There are 6 rounds of questions, and the top 3 teams at the end of the night win "in-house cash" in the form of gift cards to be used at the restaurant. Third place gets 10 dollars, second gets 25 and first gets 50. Although the DJ is given the questions to read ahead of time (Team Trivia has a league in the area, so to be fair the same questions are read at various participating locations), occasionally there is a really crappy question which the DJ (Paul) will replace with a question from that day's episode of jeopardy, often the final Jeopardy question. So, although I don't get off work until after Jeopardy airs, I record it (I love TIVO) every day. By the nature of TIVO, I can watch my recording anytime I want, but I always make sure to watch it right after work on Thursdays, so that I might have an edge at trivia that night. Sometimes, it works, and I end up with a little extra cash. |
