Teaspoon,Teacup... or Bucket?

How people tend to be constrained with the options offered…it pays to think outside of given options

Teaspoon,Teacup... or Bucket???


During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor
asked the Director which is the criteria that
defines a patient to be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bath-tub,
we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the
patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub."

Okay, here's your test:

(Those with an abnormal tendency will scroll to the bottom
to get the answer before even taking this test!)

1. Would you use the spoon?
or
2. Would you use the teacup?
or
3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand said the visitor.
A normal person would choose the bucket as
it is larger than the spoon or the cup"

Scroll down...
"Nooooo," answered the Director.
A normal person would...pull the plug!"

You are not required to tell anyone how you did on this test.
Please don't share your answer... but, now you know
