Last week one of my lecturer gave me this brainstorming idea to engage me and the class to think laterally. Here is the Wikipedia explanation of the term lateral thinking:


"Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. The term was coined in 1967 by Edward de Bono."
I'm inviting you guys to also think laterally. I'm hoping you guys to come up with at least 15 answers. Here is the question:

Imagine this room, the window on the at the back is open. In front of the windows there is a table with a vase, in which a fresh rose stands. A painting of flowers hangs on the opposite wall (at the whiteboard area). A bee flies into the room through the open window, straight to the painting and not the rose. WHY?!?!

MY ANSWERS:
1. The bee is struck by the heavy wind
2. The bee has an artistic blood in it
