Lateral Thinking

This week's lesson was about thinking out of the norm. We're suppose to think like how normal people wouldn't think and come out with ideas.

First, we had to think of how to draw the diagram given in one stroke without lifting up our pen and it took us quite awhile before we realise the solution for it.

 It wasn't easy yet not difficult as you could come up with the solution once and you'll forget how you even got it till a few times. Our group couldn't stop trying till someone did and shared it.

The 2nd assignment was to shift 3 balls in the given diagram to change the direction of it. I was the first to came up with the solution and shared it with the group. It was quite easy, it took me just 15seconds to come up with the solution.

We had one question of whether to pick the candle, oil lamp, wooden stick to be lighted up first if we had a matchstick. I personally choose candle because once you light the candle, you could light every other thing else, but of course you had to lit the matchstick first.

And lastly, how could we resolve the problem of having your neighbour chicken kept coming into your garden to eat up your plants without offending him/her.

We came up with these solutions as a group. I came up with the sensor idea that every time the chicken invades, the alarm would allow a speaker to speak so that the chickens will be afraid.

  

Basically these sums up what we did in class and I am really amaze with what my group can come up with every week, their creative ideas and all just amuse me.
