Who lured whom into misreading the situation by boxing clever?

A few lurking klaxons but ample opportunities for a QI bonus. I am in a good mood today.

Actually Teasswill, looking at your answer again I think I will give you a DGI+1 as you are heading in the right direction.

Not Blair or Iraq in any sense. But Quite Interestingly there is a QI bonus awaiting a link to a prime minister who is not himself any part of the answer.

Nothing to do with animals.

Or even John Gray, the owner of Spearmint Rhino?

Gnomon - time to move on

Interestingly, black rhinos and white rhinos are the same colour. White rhinos are really "wide rhinos", because they have big wide lips. Black rhinos have a thin pointed upper lip. They're not "white rhinos", so they must be black.
