How to Solve a Problem – Read the Question
February 3, 2016 Leave a comment
Try to solve the following problem suggested by Leslie Green:
What is the difference between the number of letters in UPPER CASE and lower case in the text?
Most of the people and me too answered the question fast: None.
If you give the same answer, read the question again.
The trivial advice is often useful: “Try to answer exactly to the question.”
Do you get another answer? What is it?
Another example: A shopkeeper of a Dairy stands six feet tall and wears size 13 sneakers. What does he weigh?
