If I didn't hate the (by now a cliche at JPL) statement "Think out of
the box" I would suggest it. It refers to the puzzle of, given a 3 x 3
array of dots, connect them all with the minimum number of straight
lines. If you allow the lines to extend beyond the 3 x 3 dots, you can
reduce the number of lines. In other words, romove limitations to your
ideas and concepts. 

Lecture mode off; if you have further brain teasers to share with us,
please do; I love to feel brilliant (and if I have no idea, I can
pretend I just didn't see the question.   ;-)
