14 Masters of Problem Solving Who Deserve a Round of Applause
Curiosities

There are no problems you can’t solve. Sometimes, people are so inventive that when they solve a problem they make us ask, “So, this was an option?” They may be so inventive that they can swim in a barrel instead of a swimming pool or wear shoes from 2 different pairs.
Bright Side is amazed by people who used their difficult situation to their advantage and we want you to take a look at them.
When your heel broke but you have an extra pair of shoes at work:
When the teacher says you can bring one handwritten 3×5 notecard for the test:
When you can’t have a real Christmas tree but you still want one:
“My orthodontist told me I’d have my braces on for Halloween. Thought I might as well take advantage of it...”
Use the rain to your advantage.
“In Canada, baby walkers with wheels are illegal. So people improvise.”
“I was not designed for this world.”
“Well, at least I can sunbathe.”
When you only have 3 players and there’s a 4-player minimum, you improvise.
“My friend wasn’t able to reach the higher roofline, so he decided the Grinch needed to ‘steal’ the lights.”
“We didn’t want to set up the second half of the tree. So we got creative.”
“Went moto-camping but forgot the tent pegs and poles, so we had to improvise.”
When it’s hot and you don’t have a pool:
Nice move
Bonus: A true friend can always help you.
