An entertaining and cheeky music video for 70 Million, hit song by Franco-American band, Hold Your Horses!, offers a wink at art history as band members playfully reconstruct famous paintings in an off the wall lyrical interpretation all their own.

the art of complex problem solving

As some of you might know, I like to solve problems. I’d like to think I am a solver. While stumbling, I came across an interesting website about the entangled process of problem solving. The picture below illustrates this process.
After scanning the intricate illustrations, may I ask you: Do you,in any way, feel more confident about solving a certain problem? I think not. I appreciate the time put into this work and the idea behind it. But, unfortunately they failed in one of the last steps – communicating clearly. However clever the idea is, if you do not illustrate it in an easy fashion it will only make it more complicated than already is.
My advice to you solving any type of problem: think. If that doesn’t work, Google it!
Seriously now, there are a few tips that you can take into consideration:
- understanding the problem before trying to solve it
- keep it simple and stupid (reduce complexity)
- challenge every one of your assumptions
- address the problem, not the symptoms
Having read all this, go now..find patterns in primes, reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity, disprove god, cure cancer and bring peace to humanity! And don’t forget.. problems are opportunities.
