An IQ question. NB/ Attempt only, if you're super-intelligent...?

You are being interviewed for your dream job. Doing what you love and getting paid a hefty salary to boot.

From the onset, you are informed by the interviewer that your progress to the interview proper depends on your answer & explanation of answer to the first question which is an IQ tricky question.

But first, in keeping with company policy, the interviewer ordered a cup of coffee for you. The coffee arrived, placed before you, then the interviewer asked, “what is before you?”

Your answer..?...

PS/

Remember you have to explain your answer as well. (hint: think outside the box...think tricky...and no sirree that ain't me!)

Update:

@ morkushn - ur explanation will get you halfway the door but alas not thru..!..

@ twilightdancer - better stick to what u do best...a super smartical dancer..lol...

Update 2:

@ Mary - a cup of coffee as an answer is too obvious. Remember this is a trick question...nice reasoning though.

@ tardis - can u think beyond ur computer?

Come on guys...the super-intelligents having a day off or what?

    Tea

    The question was "What is before you?" (UA - alphabet)

    Reply was "TEA" ( TA - alphabet)

    Alphabet "TA" was before Alphabet "UA"

    my computer?

    According to the rules I am "super-intelligent" since I attempted to answer. You didn't say it had to be correct, you just said "attempt only" - so if I am super intelligent, then I got the job. Thanks for the coffee.
