This week’s Mental Floss challenge is.
Q: A man was traveling across country carrying a fox, a duck and a bag of corn when he came to a river. There was a small boat in which he could ferry only one of the three items across the river at any one time. He could not leave the fox alone with the duck or the duck would be eaten. He dared not leave the duck alone with the corn or the duck would eat the corn. How did he get all three across safely and in one piece?
The Six Thinking Hats is of the methods that enables us to see things differently and move beyond our habitual thinking styles.
We will be conducting training in the Six Thinking Hats methods in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth over the coming months.

The man takes the duck to other side first, goes back for fox, takes the fox over and takes the duck, leaving the duck and takes the grain, then goes back for the duck again and returns to the fox and bag of grain with the duck. They are now all on the same side and off he goes.
