Mental Floss 172
The answer to last week’s challenge is, Q: Dan is put in a cell with a dirt floor and only one window. The window is too high for him to reach. The only thing in the cell is a shovel. He won’t be able to get any food or water and only has two days to escape or he’ll die. Dan can’t dig a tunnel because it will take him much longer than two days to do it. How will Dan escape from the cell?
A: Dan has to use the shovel to create a pile of dirt under the window so he can climb up onto it and escape from the cell.
This week’s challenge is:
Q: Kristina and Anthony went out for drinks together. They ordered the same drink. Kristina was really thirsty and finished five in the time it took Anthony to finish one. The drinks were poisoned, but only Anthony died. Why?

Change is accelerating and the world is shifting in ways previously unimagined. The need to socially distance along with the challenges of time, location and access are generating new challenges unthought of. According to a recent World Economic Forum report, to be able to cope with this change, the ability to think creatively, think critically and to be able to solve complex issues are in the top 3 skills that workers will require in 2020 and beyond. New thinking is essential.
Our three primary courses do just that.
The Six Thinking Hats …Revolutionary methods for incorporating diversity of view, critical thinking, creativity and driving a collaborative and parallel mindset.
The Power of Perception …. An essential set of 10x strategic thinking tools enabling significantly better scanning, deliberation and decision-making.
Lateral Thinking …. Ways of thinking to find solutions to intractable issues through unorthodox methods or elements that would normally be ignored by logical thinking.
For details on how you or your teams can benefit from learning these unique thinking tools online, contact Frank Connolly at Think Quick on 0400 109727 or email think.quick@me.com
Have an excellent weekend …
