Now that's thinking "out of the box," pure and simple. It's always good to have something to challenge our sense of perspective. Love the solution. Think I will present it to the kids I work with when I return to work on Monday.
After trying some kung-fu logic on that one, I decided, aaah heck, I'm just going to stare in the mirror at that strangely familiar person who was looking back at me :)
LOL. Now that I've seen the answer, I remember another puzzle of this nature. It had something to do with a person in the desert, some sand, witches and goodness knows what else. Where did you find that particular one? The desert one may be there too.
Tell me about it! I wanted to take that creativity test again for example, after getting some sleep. But even at 5am, when my creativity is low, my brain soaks up and remembers everything. I can still clearly see all the questions and answers in my head. If I took the test again, I'd be cheating! :)
See your way out? Oh, boy, this is a good one. LOL

take the saw
saw the table in half
two halves make a whole

I first heard that on the Ray Rayner and Garfield Goose show in Chgo. circa early 1960s.

ReplyDeleteI had a feeling you would like it.
ReplyDeleteOh clever! Like that one.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely outside the box on more than one level.

ReplyDeleteHi Eric,
ReplyDeleteI just remembered this one from hearing it when I was a child.
I remember almost everything. It's a curse.

ReplyDeleteTell me about it! I wanted to take that creativity test again for example, after getting some sleep. But even at 5am, when my creativity is low, my brain soaks up and remembers everything. I can still clearly see all the questions and answers in my head. If I took the test again, I'd be cheating! :)
Hi Eric,
ReplyDeleteTell you subconscious to be quiet so that you can go back to sleep.
And I don't think that's cheating. If you remember it, it's yours to use.
