Problem Solving

This week I'm in San Francisco visiting Freia who's doing her internship. She sent me a link to
"A Quick Puzzle to Test Your Problem Solving". Sounded intriguing, but what was even more interesting was that it was from the New York Times.



Check this out first:

And if you haven't, do spend some time and read the complete article. Explains the reasons why not only why we behave the way we do, but also why Governments and Corporates behave the way they do.


And whats the most interesting is that all of this is based on an experiment carried out in 1960 by English psychologist Peter Wason. That leads us to the next question, "Why don't we learn?"
