gentleman (Ph.D.'s all) and one invited guest dine monthly at New York's elegant Milano restaurant. the Black Widowers, whose number includes
the peerless waiter, Henry have an uncanny ability to elicit from each

the guest is unaware of the problem.
But the Black Widowers,
equipped with plenty of erudition and intuition, eagerly tackle the
puzzle — until Henry, quietly amassing the facts, delight them all with
the answer.
