For all those who have not yet figured it out: look carefully. It's written FLY. It's an amazing mindset trap that forces you to focus on the black and white shape, and you tend to ignore the formation of words FLY. SEE THE IMAGE IN TOTALITY, DON'T FOCUS ON THE SHAPES.

To view these types of pictures, follow these steps: Open the picture. Before looking at the image, first, close your eyes. Keep them closed until there is a small gap between your eyelids. Then, look at the picture through that small gap, and you will be able to see it easily. Give it a try...

An interesting quiz for your Lateral Thinking abilities - Think!
1. There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Every day he takes the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building for work. However, when he returns from work, he can only travel halfway up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining!
Why?
(This is probably the best-known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions that fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.)
2. A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies at the scene, but the child is rushed to the hospital. Upon arrival, the surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son!" How can this be?
3. A man is dressed entirely in black: black shoes, socks, trousers, jumper, gloves, and balaclava. He is walking down a dark street with all the street lamps off. A black car is approaching him with its lights off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man?
4. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?
This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle that can be solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known software company as an interview question for prospective employees.
5. A man walks into a restaurant and asks the waiter for a glass of water. The waiter pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
(This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely baffling, and yet with a completely satisfying solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one, yet they like the answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out.)
SOLUTIONS
1. The man is very, very short and can only reach halfway up the elevator buttons. However, if it is raining, he will have his umbrella with him and can press the higher buttons with it.
2. The surgeon was his mother.
3. It was daytime.
4. A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the diagonal of the manhole. A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So, for safety and practicality, all manhole covers should be round.
5. The man had hiccups. The waiter recognized this from his speech and drew the gun to give him a shock. It worked and cured the hiccups, so the man no longer needed the water.
