Exercise Your Mind!
OK - it's summer time and everyone wants to play,
and let their minds turn to mush. If you work at a
career - you won't have the luxury, but your kids and
others will. No matter who you are or what position
you are in, you should always be thinking, and
exercising your mind. Use the summer and other
breaks to try to think "outside of the box" - it will
carry into other areas of your life and work.
Some great ways to force yourself to think "out of
the box" are mind teasers, or in resolving there is no
absolute right or wrong answer to anything. After all,
an engineer learns pretty quickly in the real world that
all the equations he or she learned in school do not
really mean much without applying some intuition
that is learned from experience. The equations are
or can be valid, but need to be mixed in with some
variability and "real life experience."
OK - are you ready to test yourself on some mind
teasers - that will force you to think about things in
a different sort of way? Try out some of these that
follow and see how long it takes to get the answers.
To see more of these every week - you'll need
to go to this site and try new ones as they are
included. Mind Twisters
1) You meet a meat cutter who is named Sam. He cuts
prime ribs, stew meat, ribs, and many other cuts of
meat. He wears size 38" jeans and is about 5 foot 3.
Sam's shirts are oversized and baggy, and his shoes
look about size 13. What does he weigh?
2) What is this thing God doesn't know about, that a
king needs, a poor man has, but if you eat it you die?
3) A king needs to hand over his throne to one of his sons -
so he decides to run a horse race, and the son with the slower
horse will be the winner and gain the throne. Each son feared
the other would cheat and run his horse slower than it is
capable of running, so they asked the court jester for advice -
and they were given the answer. What did the jester tell them?
Answer these and you're on your way to keeping a sharp mind.
Find more and try them out on your family just for the
challenge and the fun! This could be a great summer "game"
to play between family members, and could stir up some
debatable discussions! Pretty soon you'll be answering these
teasers more quickly, because you will have learned how to
think "outside of the box."
