This document discusses ways to enhance creative thinking and outlines four steps to change how one works: be curious, make connections, challenge yourself, and cultivate your ideas. It notes that both logical and creative thinking are important for 21st century success. Some techniques discussed include combining dots in new ways, moving matches to solve puzzles, and story creation. The document advocates thinking differently and taking risks to foster innovation.
40. âŠâŠ. âŠâŠ. However if you combine the dots with 2 convergent straight lines your perception of the dots changes .The top row appears longer than the bottom Following are two rows of parallel dots that are equal in length. Try to will yourself to see the rows of dots as unequal in length.Tryto wilLone row longer than the other
43. Square game This figure is a square defined by 4 dots. Move 2 dots and create a square as big as the one defined by the dots as they are presently arranged .
44. REVERSING PYRAMID a)Form a 4-3-2-1 horizontal pyramid. b) Reverse the apex and the base of the pyramid by moving only three people.
47. a) Eight people line up shoulder to shoulder, alternating male and female, with everyone facing the same direction. b) The object is to get all the females on one end and all the males on the other. These are the rules: Â 1) First, the goal is to solve the problem in the fewest possible moves 2) Second, all moves are made in pairs. A pair is you and anyone standing next to you. 3) Third, when a pair moves out of the middle of the group, the empty spot they left must be filled by another pair. 4) Fourth, pairs may not pivot or turn around. 5) Fifth, there should be no gaps in the solution of the problem.
51. Arrange seven matches into the equation shown in the illustration. It can be seen the equation itself is not correct. Puzzle 1. Move one match to a new position in order to make this equation correct. Puzzle 2. Move three matches to new positions to get a correct equation. This puzzle can be solved in two different ways. Puzzle 3*. Move two matches to new positions to get a correct equation. In all three puzzles it is not allowed to break the matches and an equation sign has to remain in the final expression.
56. 1. Accept that you can be creative 2. Question traditional assumptions 3. Expand your problem-solving styles 4. Employ creativity techniques 5. Practice thinking in new ways
57. âInnovation is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.âÂ
