The Story

Cliff has been having a picnic near the reservoir. Having finished his lunch he decides to go for a sail. It's the keeper's afternoon off, so Cliff is told to tie the boat up when he's finished. Cliff enjoys his quiet sail, and then heads back for his tea. He comments that it was a lovely day not spoiled by the evil spies.

Over at Evil Spies HQ, the spies say they've just been waiting for their moment and fire the drilling ray. The ray hits the dam Cliff is walking by, and a hole appears. Cliff realises if the dam breaks, he'll be caught in the flood, but what can he use to block the hole?

The options are, A) His Finger, B) Bubble Gum or C) Some Cake?

On the answers page, by putting his finger in the hole the water comes out of his ears. The bubble gum just builds up a bubble full of water, which will eventually burst. The correct answer was Some Cake, mainly because it's a Sponge Cake!

Notes

The boat Cliff travels in has Acme on the side when he sails off, but Abolish Tuesdays on the same side coming back
