Mental Floss 96
The answer to last 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?
A: No, said the Director. A sane person would just pull the plug. (Would you like a bed near the window or over near the heater)?
This week’s challenge is …
Q: A rich old lady died and left all her money to her grandchildren and her children. At the end of the will she stated that she had one last thing to give away: her precious diamond. She gave a clue to where it might be. She said “it’s in a cylinder surrounded by a thousand squares.” One grandchild said, “I know where it is,” and found it. Where was it?
We are pleased to announce that we have now locked in our next Six Thinking Hats public training session for Melbourne on July 26.
