Mental Floss 95
The answer to last week’s challenge is Q: You’re riding a horse. To the right of you is a cliff and in front of you is an elephant moving at the same pace and you can’t overtake it. To the left of you is a hippo running at the same speed and a lion is chasing you. How do you get to safety?
A: Just jump off, you are only on a merry-go-round.
This week’s challenge is …
Q: During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should be admitted. “Well,” said the director, “we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub. Okay, here’s your test: Would you use the spoon, the teacup or the bucket?” “Oh, I understand,” said the visitor. “A normal person would choose the bucket, as it is larger than the spoon.” What was the director’s response?
The answer along with a new challenge, next week.
We are pleased to announce that we have now locked in our next Six Thinking Hats public training session for Melbourne on July 26.
