Just thought it would be interesting to see possible answers. I'll post the correct one fairly soon.
"You have just made a kettle of boiling water to make a cup of tea. You want the tea to cool down to drinking temerature as quick as possible. Do you put the milk in before or after the tea?
The most important thing is reasoning.
Yus, Stephen got it right away.
Hint:
It is not to do with with convection currents.
The correct answer, beautifully phrased:

She shouldn't be allowed tea then.:P
Seriously though, who has there tea at boiling temperature? 100 Degrees is too hot, baby.

What if your drinking temperature is REALLY hot, so hot you actually have to microwave it after putting in the milk/hot water (whichever way you prefer to make it).
Then it doesn't COOL to drinking temperature.
Everyone likes there's at a different temperature.
My mum for example, the hotter it is, the better she says.

Do tea bags come with boiling water in them? No.
They do however come with tea in.
It's down to the questions definition of 'tea', which isn't made clear.

But how could you have had the tea without the boiling water?

Hedfix thinks outside the box.
Yes but is says 'do you put the milk in before or after the tea?'
It doesn't mention about when you put in the boiling water which is where I thought the trick was.
It doesn't mention about when you put in the boiling water which is where I thought the trick was.

It's not about whether you want milk or not. Drinking temperature obv. has to be a constant. Doesn't matter what it is.
