JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Time to skip across the pond and see what's making news "Over There" in jolly, old England with my good friend, Richard Quest, who usually rounds up an interesting assortment of items to share with us on these Friday mornings, including a story that women lie a lot. Gee, what a surprise!
BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: A shocker.

DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Oh, come on!

CAFFERTY: Yes. And the most commonly told one is:

RICHARD QUEST, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I'm not going there, Jack. Not just yet.

CAFFERTY: OK.

QUEST: You're going to have to wait a minute.

CAFFERTY: All right.

QUEST: But before we get to that, still talking about women, maybe not lies -- well, maybe some of the lies they tell when they're on the cat walk. The Miss World contest takes place in London tomorrow, Saturday. I'll be there covering it for CNN.

You'll remember, of course, Jack, the Miss World contest -- I mean, it's always controversial, but this time, absolutely mired in controversy following the rioting and the deaths in Nigeria, where it was originally going to be held. Then they abandoned it in Nigeria. Some members of -- some contestants have boycotted. The whole lot has moved to London.

And I can tell you, my producer was out there at the venue of it where it's going to be held tomorrow, Jack, and apparently it's in an absolute sort of shambles at the moment. Nothing's really prepared. It probably will be OK tomorrow, but Miss World, controversial normally, some people say the bovine beauties that show more than they should.

CAFFERTY: Oh!

QUEST: Well, I didn't -- did I say that? Did I say that?

CAFFERTY: That's cruel.

QUEST: Now, Miss World will be happening tomorrow, and it's very controversial this year, but we will there to bring you what's happening.

CAFFERTY: Yes.

QUEST: Now, on the question of lies, this is one that you really want to get to grips with. Daryn...

KAGAN: Yes.

QUEST: ... a survey of 5,000 women on their most popular lies. The survey is called "Inside the Mind of a Woman," so we know we're in trouble to start with.

KAGAN: That's scary, all right.

QUEST: First of all, these shoes only cost 10 pounds.

KAGAN: No, my shoes only weigh 10 pounds.

QUEST: I love you.

KAGAN: OK.

QUEST: And you're fantastic in bed.

KAGAN: That's what the women say the men?

QUEST: Well, yes, so according to this survey. But these are the others from the "Inside the Mind of a Woman," which are, again, quite remarkable. Twenty-five percent would lie about their contraception to get pregnant, 33 percent would marry a rich man they didn't love.

CAFFERTY: Really?

QUEST: Hey, I'd marry a rich man I didn't love!

CAFFERTY: Me, too.

QUEST: Twenty-five percent would have sex with their boss for a promotion.

KAGAN: No.

QUEST: Frightening! And 32 percent console their man once they found out that he enjoyed cross-dressing.

HEMMER: Who came up with that?

(CROSSTALK)

KAGAN: Yes.

CAFFERTY: I'm going to tell you something. The 32 percent, none of them live in my house. All right?

KAGAN: Cross-dressing? CAFFERTY: There would be no consoling.

KAGAN: Especially if they're cross-dressing with those expensive shoes. That would be a problem.

CAFFERTY: Yes. Well, speaking of shoes, for those of us in the viewing audience who haven't learned yet how to do this, Richard is going to give us a little lesson in tying our shoes. Now, some...

KAGAN: Right.

CAFFERTY: Some idiot actually studied this, right? Actually, I shouldn't say he's an idiot.

QUEST: Well...

CAFFERTY: He's probably a distinguished professor.

QUEST: He is. He's Professor Burkhart Pollster (ph) of the School of Mathematical Sciences in Victoria, Australia.

CAFFERTY: Yes.

QUEST: And the writ is on its way to you. He's devised a complicated formula. These are the best ways that we traditionally tie our shoes. These are the ones that work out best. Yes, (UNINTELLIGIBLE) I had to sort of change my shoelaces. I looked very strange coming in here.

This is known as the crisscross method.

CAFFERTY: Yes.

QUEST: Straight forward, and apparently it's very good for giving you tactile (ph) strength when you actually need to run. This is the most beautiful way of doing it. It's the crossover method. Again, it works...

(CROSSTALK)

CAFFERTY: Are those actually your shoes?

QUEST: Yes!

CAFFERTY: Oh, man!

KAGAN: Did you pay more than 10 pounds for them?

CAFFERTY: Yes.

QUEST: Considerably. The problem with this method is, as you can see...

CAFFERTY: Whoops!

QUEST: ... if you don't get it right the first time, it all ends somewhat in this. And finally, the best and most beautiful way -- don't ask where my third leg is, please.

CAFFERTY: Oh!

KAGAN: Oh!

(CROSSTALK)

CAFFERTY: Oh!

QUEST: This is the bow-tie method, which only works well on dress shoes, because it doesn't give you any strength.

So, those are the three ways that you can tie your shoes.

CAFFERTY: Three ways out of how many? The guy did a mathematical calculation. And if there are seven eyelets in the shoe, how many different ways are there to tie the shoes?

QUEST: There are 400 million different ways. You can actually go backwards and forwards. But what they all basically come down to is one of these three methods.

CAFFERTY: Yes.

QUEST: And I don't know how much the survey cost, but now you know. Are you a crisscross man, a straight-over man, or a bow-tie man?

CAFFERTY: You should polish those. They don't look too good. You know what I'm saying?

QUEST: Well, we don't have as many people to do that sort of thing. We don't have staff (UNINTELLIGIBLE) whereas you do in New York.

CAFFERTY: Always a pleasure, my friend. I'll talk to you in a week. Have a good one.

QUEST: Have a good one, Jack.

CAFFERTY: Richard Quest, "Over There."
