THE CANDLE PROBLEM
Individuals are presented with three objects on a tableplaced next to a plaster wall: a candle, a box of matchesand a box of thumbtacks (= drawing pins).
The task is to attach the candle to the plaster wall so thatthe candle burns properly and does not drip wax on thetable or the floor.
