How did it feel when doing the activity?Why do you think it felt like this?What you learnt?

Page 6: Games trainers play

Conclusion

‘you don’t have to be clever to see that left and right are central to

intelligence’

Page 7: Games trainers play

Game 2- Being Creative

Aim: this further illustrates the difference between vertical and

lateral thinking. Helps in problem solving, change management,

innovation etc

Instruction

1. Issue the quiz sheet- face down2. Give only % minutes to anwer the quiz3. Seek answer and discuss as a group

Page 9: Games trainers play

Quiz 1. If a doctor gave you three pills and told you to take ONE every half hour, how long would they last?2. Divide 30 by a half. Add 10. what’s the answer?3 .If you had only one match and entered a dark room where there was an oil lamp, oil heater, and some wood, which would you light first?4. Take two apples from three apples. What do you have?5. Some months have 30 days, some have 31; how many months have 28 days?

Quiz- cont.6.Aman builds a house with four sides. It is a rectangular structure with each wall having a southern exposure. A bear comes wondering by one day. What colour is the bear?7.I went to bed at eight o’clock in the evening and wound up the alarm clock to get me up at nine in the morning. How many hours of sleep did this allow me?

Page 11: Games trainers play

Answers1. ONE HOUR. If you started at 5 o’clock, your second would be at 5.30 and the final one at 6 o’clock2. SEVENTY. Because 30 divided by half equals 60(30/0.5=60+10=70)3. THE MATCH4.TWO APPLES. Remember you took the apples.5. ALL of THEM6. WHITE. The house has to be on the North Pole. Therefore the bear has to be a Polar bear.7. ONE HOUR. You had to wind up the clock. Therefore it was a mechanical clock- i.e.12 hours analog; NOT 24 hour digital.

1. what went through your thoughts?2.What hindered your creativity?3.How they can be developed?4.How can you apply these concepts at work?

ReviewThe barriers to your creativity:a) self imposedb) establishing a pattern of one unique answerc)Conformity i.e. giving the expected answerd)evaluating too quickly, ande) fear of looking foolish

1.) There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Every day he takes the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building and go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and takes the stairs the rest of the way, unless it's raining, in which case he goes all the way up!WHY? This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.

2.) A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, and the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives, the surgeon arrives, the surgeon says "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!"How can this be?

3.) A man is wearing all black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, jumper, gloves and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its lights off, but somehow manages to stop in time.How did the driver see the man? 4.) Title : The Elder Twin One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older, identical twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday.Why? 5.) Title : Manhole Covers Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle which can be solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known software company as an interview question for prospective employees.

6.) Title : The Deadly Party. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early.

Everyone else who stayed late at the party drank the same punch and subsequently all died of poisoning.Why did the man not die? 7.) Title : Heaven. A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all n*ked and all looked just as they did at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve.How did he know?

Page 18: Games trainers play

8.) Title : Trouble with Sons. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins.How could this be so? 9.) Title : The Man in the Bar. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. Surprised, the man says... 'Thank you' and leaves the bar.

This puzzle has claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one, yet they like the answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out.

SOLUTIONS:

1) The man is very very short and so can only reach half way up the lift buttons! However, if it is raining then he will have his umbrella with him and so can press the higher buttons with that!2) The surgeon is the boy's mother! 3) It was day time! 4) At the time she went into labor, the mother of the twins was traveling by boat. The older twin, Terry, was born first early on March 1st. March 1st. The boat then crossed a time zone and Kerry, the younger twin was born on February the 28th. Therefore, the younger twin celebrates her birthday two days before her older brother.

5) A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the diagonal of the manhole. A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So for safety and practicality, all manhole covers should be round.

Page 20: Games trainers play

6) The poison in the punch came from the ice cubes. When the man drank the punch, the ice was fully frozen. Gradually it melted, poisoning the punch.

7) He recognized Adam and Eve as the only people without navels. Because they were not born of women, they had never had umbilical cords and therefore they never had navels. (This one seems perfectly logical but it can sometimes sparks fierce theological arguments!)

8) They were two of a set of triplets (or quadruplets etc). This simple little puzzle stumps many people. They try outlandish solutions involving test-tube babies or surrogate mothers. Why does the brain search for complex solutions when there is a much simpler one available?

Page 21: Games trainers play

9) The man had hiccups. The barman recognized this from his speech and drew the gun in order to give him a shock. It worked and cured the hiccups -- so the man no longer needed the water. (This is a simple puzzle to state but a difficult one to solve. It is a perfect example of a seemingly irrational and incongruous situation having a simple and complete explanation. Amazingly this classic classic puzzle seems to work in different cultures and languages.)

*"Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?" "Yes. What can I do for you?" "I'm calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith. He's hidin'marijuana inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it insidethem logs, but he's hidin' it there." "Thank you very much for the call, sir." The next day, the Sheriff's Deputies descend on Virgil's house. Theysearch the shed where the firewood is kept Using axes, they bust openevery piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil andleave. Shortly, the phone rings at Virgil's house. "Hey, Virgil! This here's Floyd. Did the Sheriff come?" "Yeah!" "Did they chop your firewood?" "Yep!" "Happy Birthday, buddy!" *
