So yesterday we had a "relaxed" class, because we had to do a test (which actually was veeeeery long...). This was because an external company made this test for us and it will only be available until this Friday, so the teacher preferred us to do it in class, rather than at home.
Maybe the most interesting thing from the test was one part, which had some questions and exercises that had to be solved in a creative way. Two of the answers to the questions that most impressed me were from the following:
Q1: A man lies dead on a field. Next to him is a non-opened package. There is no one else on the field. How did he die?
Q2: A young man, for leaving quickly to meet his friends, forgot his driving license. Once on the street, he didn't stop at the red traffic light and continued through a road in the opposite sense. All of this was observed by a policeman, who didn't even try to stop him. Why?
The answer will be at the bottom of this post, but there is not one "correct" answer. That is what I like about this type of activities: you can be as creative as you want! In addition, maybe your answer is better than the theoretical one.
Regarding the exercises, one of them was the typical one of joining 16 points with 7 lines (try it also with 6), without lifting your pencil and without going two times through the same point (in the case of with 6 lines, start and end at the same point).
The theoretical answer to the questions asked above are:
A1: The man jumped from an airplane but his parachute didn't open. That was the non-opened package.
A2: The young man was walking.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Search for this kind of activities because they are really interesting, valuable and fun! And there are loads of different types!
Thanks for reading my blog!
