“Thinking out the Box” And “Critical Thinking” Are Different Qualities
To understand this picture, which illustrates time flow variability,
no need to be a critical thinker, enough to be able to think out the box. Please check, if you have not had this fun yet, popular movie clips, where time speed is in play:
As for critical thinking, please try this self-test from my book preface:
A man works downtown, and he finishes his work randomly between 5pm and 6pm. Then he comes to the subway, where trains go every 15 minutes in the direction where his girlfriend lives, and trains go every 15 minutes in the opposite direction, which is where his parents live. He takes the very first train that comes to the station. But here is the problem: His mom complains that he visits his parents only once a week on average. But the guy responds, and that is true, that he takes the very first train at his station. How is it possible that on average only 1 of 5 days he comes to his parents and 4 of 5 days to his girlfriend?
It tests if you can validate your own solution/opinion.
