Innovation & Creativity - Group Exercise
You are in a room with floors and walls made of wood.
There is no furniture in the room except for a large fish tank right in the middle.
At the bottom of that fish tank is a diamond worth five million dollars.
There are sleeping guards in every corner.
If there is any loud noise, they will wake up and arrest you.
All you have to do is retrieve the diamond from the bottom of the fish tank.
Oh, and the fish tank is full of flesh-eating piranha fish.
You have with you the following items:
A wad of cotton;
A hammer;
A straw;
A cup;
A steel canister;
A side of beef;
A stack of paper plates;
A towel; and
A baseball bat.
Working in teams of 4 – 5, write down all the ways you can think of to retrieve the diamond without waking the guards or getting your arm chewed off.
Work quickly. You have 10 minutes!
The group with the most ideas wins!
