The answer to the puzzle with a candle
Miscellaneous / / December 19, 2019
One possible solution is as follows. You need to shake the thumbtacks out of the box and attach them with the help of boxes to the wall. And then put a candle on it.
If you have solved the problem in the same way or have invented some very similar to the way we have good news for you. But if you have tried to attach the candle to the wall using the buttons or decide its heat, melt the wax and use it as a glue... Well, ideas are not bad, but they do not work (if you do not believe me - check themselves).
This test is commonly used in psychology to evaluate the so-called functional fixedness. This phenomenon was first described by Karl Duncker (Karl Duncker). Its essence is as follows: if the object is already used by some one way, then apply it in some other way is difficult. For example, if you are accustomed to using only the clip to connect the sheets of paper, you will be difficult to guess that it is possible to straighten and apply the segment as a small thin metal wires.
75% of people can not find the correct answer to the puzzle with a candle, and it shows how much we find it difficult to abandon the traditional script application object.
When things have a specific purpose, often used, we are so hung up on this scenario, it could hardly imagine the other, even the most appropriate for your situation.
In this case, we are so accustomed to think of the box out of the office keys as a container for these small items that completely forget about other options to use. After all, a good support can come from it under the candle!
If you manage to solve the problem, know that you creative and flexible person who successfully avoids the traps of consciousness and functional fixedness.

I think quite a banal solution, do not believe that 75% of people can not guess before

Terms incorrect, it is necessary to point out that the wooden wall. I will have a look as you key in the concrete wall will be inserted.

What are you not telling. Or concrete is concrete or not thumbtacks. The concrete wall and a nail with a hammer will drive not.

hmm. and I have a concrete wall attached Button Paper pocket for notes leaves the country, or the wall is not a wall, a ceiling, or the list is not the same.

Note that the wall is likely caused considerable plaster + wallpaper, for example, so button stuck well

this is the logical problems. There are no restrictions on any subject composition or by the use of options.

No, Anna, properly formulated logical problems do not allow many options to address (if it is not the purpose) and do not contain contradictory or incomplete condition. Logic - an exact science.

It is not the task of logic :)
- IkarDedalovich:January 13, 2016 at 16:13
Then why write that "this is the logic of the problem." Where is the logic?:)

And what is this task? to sketch cartoons ???
If you reflect, you think, looking for ways to solve situatsii- a logical mapping (analysis) starting to form the desired end result.

The simplest solution - simply attach the candle. No matter what. In the context it does not say that it should be set on fire.

Yes, about a concrete wall - surely noticed! Some painfully short-sighted, the inventors of this test, or in very ancient times it came up, and his copy without thinking.
I had a solution: to burn a candle on drip on the box, attach it to a wall, attach buttons liberally to wax and then turned to look or not. But it turns out it's hard to give up the familiar vision of things, because I have a concrete wall.. hmm ...Log in to reply-

Sex - is also a wall. I decided to do so: rivet buttons on the floor, they put the two halves of the box on top of each other and then a candle.

Thus, the problem.
There is a small candle, box with push pin and pack of matches. It is necessary to attach the candle to the wall so the wax does not drip on the floor.Solution one, and more sophisticated.
Attach several matches to a wall buttons, thread a piece of cardboard on which any of the box (as if you just fix the boxes, he can not stand the weight candles, best to use the top of the box, not the part where are the matches or button) on vdet matches and put on the resulting "shelf" candle.the second solution.
Attach to the wall "tray" out of matches, it set the candle.And the wax does not drip on the floor, just incinerate.

and even can be attached at an angle to the wall, while the wax will flow on the wall instead of the floor?
