This week challenge your thinking: analytical and creative (convergent and divergent.).

Here are 7 questions from the game Mind Trap that I use periodically to help warm groups up to varied and combined thinking approaches (out of and in the box).

Monday

How many three cent stamps are in a dozen?

Tuesday

What is the third hand on a watch or clock called?

Wednesday

The make doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the use doesn't see it. What is it?

Thursday

Why are 1990 American dollar bills worth more than 1989 American dollar bills?

Friday

What occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment yet never in a thousand years?

Saturday

What is one thing that all wise men, regardless of their religion or politics, agree is between heaven and earth?

Sunday

Fred Johnson bought a used computer for $600 and sold it to Bill Thomas for $800. He later bought it back for $1000 and resold it for $1200. Did Fred make any profit and if so how much?

Take time to stretch your creative thinking skills each day of your life.
