My partner recently gave me a puzzle to do out of New Scientist June 2012 which was about creativity.
The problem was III=III+III . My task was to move one of the sticks only to make the sum work out correctly. I foolishly made the assumption that it was a mathematical equation and hence decided that there could be only 1 equals sign. I couldn't solve it. I now know what the answer is, but I'm going to leave you to guess. The point is, that I made a wrong assumption and therefore I couldn't get it!
