Q: The Wrigley's test ....would your students pass?
Q.What is the Wrigley's test you ask.
A. To see if a person can walk and chew gum at the same time.
The other day we had a young Kiwi guy at work.
We were a little sus about his ability to use logic so I put two shovels against the wall and told him to take the pick.....he just stood there confused.
So i draw a circle in the dirt around him and told him to stand in the corner. .....he looked around the circle looking for the corner.
Sadly this story is 100% not made up.
Have you any similar stories you can share?

Gave him two shovels and asked him to take the pick. No pick to take, unless he thought you said 'pic', and chose to take a photo. We frequently run into similar situations regarding innovation versus creativity with our Chinese manufacturers. There have been many times then when I thought retroactive abortions are prudent.

Besides its challenging and logic sides, it's art and poetic. I loved reading this post.
Creativity as a challenge , real life seeking solutions. The absurd proved reasonable.
I had no idea of such test. Thanks for posting it!
Aikidan:
One of my favorites in the USA, long ago, involved having someone sit on the floor and be covered with a bed sheet. They were then told to remove everything they didn't need. Lots of naked, embarrassed participants when they finally realized (or were told), they didn't need the bed sheet.
Was he a young guy?

Mid 30s . He made me feel better about my lack of intelligence

You know you're getting older when young people are getting older.
Young people are coddled and protected as children. They expect credit just for breathing.
