SOLVING THE RING TOY

What is creative Problem solving ?

Creative Problem Solving is a proven method for approaching a problem or a challenge in an imaginative and innovative way. It’s a tool that helps people re-define the problems they face, come up with breakthrough ideas and then take action on these new ideas

Removing the ring :

It might look complicated but the solution is actually very simple. The steps for removing the ring from the toy are listed below:

1. Push the ring up, above the slit in the toy.
2. Holding the ring up take one of the hanging wooden blocks and pass it through the slit onto the other side of the toy.
3. Pull the block which pushed onto the other side down, the ball for the same would be near the slit.
4. Pull the ring down below the ball.
5. Take the ring up and pass it through the slit from the direction opposite to the side having the ball. And  WALLA the ring can be removed from the other side.

As I said the solution was very simple while some of us were thinking about untying the ropes around the wooden block to remove the block system first and thereby the ring.

To put the ring back into the setup, the process would be the exact opposite of the one done before. The steps for this are listed below:

1. Pass the ball through the ring.
2. Tilt the ring and pass it through the slit.
3. Pull the ring up above the slit.
4. Remove the wooden plank, hanging on the same side of the other one but not having a ball along with it, through the slit.
5. Let go of the ring.

This will restore the setup to the same way as it was when we had initially started with it. So as was seen in this setup always the solutions to problems are simple. It's we who complicate things. Every problem can be solved creatively, this can be seen in the video attached below.

LEARNING :

Never take any task, just as a task but, takes its completion as a target which is to be achieved with proper time-frame or otherwise it loses its relevance.

 What usually happens is that we look at a problem and start trying to solve it, without forming a well-structured thought process. So, that’s what we have to do. 

Form an image in your mind and go by the step-by-step approach.

 If you are not able to solve a problem even after several tries, take a step back, wait for some time and attempt it with a fresh approach.
