So about two weeks ago, we got a lesson about lateral thinking.

What is lateral thinking?

Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic." - Wikipedia

So, we were given a few questions and the lecturer encourage us to use a creative way to solve this problem. One thing stressed from this lesson is to think outside the box.

Again, I am pairing with Jecelyn (view her blog here). We answered many questions. Some questions made our brains turned up side down, trying to find a unique way to solve the problem. But overall, I think we had a good time trying to figure thinks out.

There were some questions we needed to solve with drawing. To make things easier, we decided to use the iPad. Here are some of the screen captures.

There are lots of questions and problems you can only solve by thinking outside the box. For example is the problem where you need to connect 9 dots shaping the box with only four straight lines. You can see our answer above. The picture under this is the common answer.

Here are some quotes about thinking outside the box.
