Hello, there!
Aqui estão as respostas pros quizzes de pensamento lateral da segunda-feira!
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?
Of the many candidates at the interview only one gave this answer, which was judged the best. You give the car keys to your old friend and ask him to drive the sick old lady to the hospital, while you wait at the bus stop with the woman (or man) of your dreams.

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?
The shoe shops put single shoes as display items outside the shops. One shop put out left shoes, the other three shops put out right shoes. Thieves stole the display shoes but had to make pairs, so more shoes were taken from the one displaying left shoes. The manager changed the display to right shoes and thefts dropped significantly.
