15+ People Who Have the Problem-Fixing Skill in Their Résumé

Our brains love challenges — and not just for the process in which we strive to find solutions but for the moment of euphoria and joy we’re struck with when we finally get to the “aha” moment. Believe it or not, even cows have this moment of insight. We don’t have images of how cows solve problems, but we have come across some brilliant-minded people that shared their unconventional fixes.

If there were awards for “most creative quick fixes,” Bright Side put together a list of some that might make it to the top 10.
