Only 3% of People Can Solve This Creativity Riddle

Apr 19, 2016

Alright folks, so (hopefully) it’s pretty obvious by now that we’re ALL about creativity here at B+C. Whether we’re dishing out tips on how to hack a 30-minute dinner or showing you how to DIY the latest food craze (hi, rainbow bread), we’re always striving to help you live a more creative life. However, creativity isn’t just something that comes into play when you’re crafting. In fact, it’s useful in pretty much every facet of your life. UK publication The Independent recently shared a riddle that it claims only 3% of people can solve (WITHOUT Googling the answer). Scroll down to check it out + see how strong your creativity muscles currently are.

Here’s the riddle: Imagine you are a doctor and one of your patients is about to die from a tumour. You can’t perform surgery, but you do have a ray gun which can focus a high-intensity ray to destroy the tumour. However, there’s a slight problem. At this high intensity, the ray will also damage the healthy tissue it passes through.If you try to lower the intensity, while the healthy tissue is safe it no longer has the energy to destroy the actual tumour.

So the question is: How do you destroy the tumor without damaging the tissue? Have a think and scroll down to see the answer below.

According to The Independent the answer is as follows: “Mount 10 ray guns around the patient, and set each ray’s intensity at ten per cent. Then, when you focus the ray guns, the low intensity won’t damage the healthy tissue, but when combined, the radiation is high enough to destroy the tumour.”

Ah, duh! If you didn’t get it right don’t go beating yourself up. Just take this as a reminder that creative thinking is something that can be learned and practiced. If you’re trying to amp up your skills in this department there are a million ways to get started – but taking a fun online class or doing a deep dive into all our creativity-focused content is a great way to start.

Stanley 1913, the creator of the famed Stanley tumblers you know and love, just recalled millions of cups due to multiple reports of… burn injuries?!

Here’s what to know about the current Stanley cup recall.

Consumer Product Safety Commission

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC), the Stanley recall covers all Switchback and Trigger Action travel mugs. These travel mugs pose a “burn hazard” to sippers who have them since the mugs’ lid threads can shrink when exposed to heat and torque, causing the lid to detach during use.

Stanley 1913

Stanley received 91 reports from consumers facing this issue, with 38 burn injuries worldwide. A total of 11 consumers required medical attention from the flaw. The CSPC estimates that about 2.6 million mugs are part of the massive recall.

These are the exact recalled products:

Switchback 12-ounce mug, product identification number 20-01437
Switchback 16-ounce mug, product identification numbers 20-01436, 20-02211
Trigger Action 12-ounce mug, product identification numbers 20-02033, 20-02779, 20-02825

Trigger Action 20-ounce mug, product identification numbers 20-02034, 20-02746

A post shared by Stanley 1913 (@stanley_brand)
