Document Summary
Midterm: open book, short answer and multiple choice. Proble(cid:373) solvi(cid:374)g & creativity: (cid:858)the bad(cid:859: narrow, tactical, overly, cautious thinking, must re-work problems repeatedly, easily connects seemingly discrepant ideas, can see hidden problems, analyze problems adequately using different perspectives, look beyond. Problem 1: which conceptual block: three hobbits, three orcs are at a river bank, need to cross to the other side. There is a boat available, however, only two creatures can cross at the same time. Orcs are vicious creatures, more orcs than hobbits on the river, they will eat the hobbit. Never leave more orcs than hobbits: answer: solving the hobbits and orcs problem requires overcoming the artificial constraint that only one creature should return the bot to the left shore. Problem 2: which conceptual block: there are two strings hanging from a ceiling but are too far apart to allow a person to hold one and walk to the other.
