Hello, everybody!

Em 2010 fiz uma entrevista por Skype com o autor Paul Sloane, autor de vários livros sobre lateral thinking skills, habilidades de pensamento lateral.

Usei alguns dos seus quizzes naquela época aqui no blog e decidi compartilhar mais alguns com a permissão do Paul. Vamos ver se você consegue achar uma solução para eles?

Here they are!

01. Interview question – This question has been used as an aptitude test at interviews. You are driving in your sports car on a cold wet evening. You pass a bus stop where you see three people waiting for the bus. One if your best friend from school days who you have not seen for 20 years. One is the man or woman of your dreams – the person you always wanted to meet. The third is a sick old lady who needs to be taken to hospital. Knowing that there is room for only one passenger in your car, what would you do?

02. The seven bells – A shop in New York is called The Seven Bells, yet it has eight bells hanging outside. Why?

03. Lost in the desert – Two men were lost in a large desert. One started walking due east and the other started walking due west. Two hours later they met. How?

04. Single-handed – How does a one-armed man change a screw-in light bulb?

05. Shoe shop shuffle – In a small town there are four shoe shops of about the same size and each carries a similar line of shoes. Yet one shop loses three times as many shoes to theft as each of the other shops. Why and how did they fix the problem?
