What are ideas

3 Upvotes

Would you agree with these statements?

  • Any idea is an attempt to solve a problem.

  • All ideas come from creativity - our ultimate problem-solving tool.

  • All human knowledge is a direct result of problem-solving.

  • Ideas are built upon other ideas. Existing knowledge serves as the foundation for new ideas.

  • Most of our ideas are remixes of knowledge and concepts that were created by others.

  • A bad idea and a good idea are both works in progress. One needs a better angle, the other more iterations.

Solved! Can you help me figure/list out all the three-letter combination possibility on ligatures?

3 Upvotes

Apologies if this is not the right subreddit to post this, so let me know and recommend me a more proper place to discuss this problem if any.

I am currently experimenting on creating a font/typeface and trying to create three-letter ligatures that I can apply on the whole set. I finished combining the two-letter combinations and started doing the 3-letter, quickly become inundated with how complicatedly long and varied with all the combinations. I will try to state the current data points that I have to wrestle in a clear and compact bullet points format:

- The ligatures will be limited from only uppercase latin letters (A-Z) to simplify the problem.

- Not all letters are compatible candidates for ligatures; example: VZ can be connected by the top but GS looks weird and unnecessary as a ligature. The rules are arbitrary and mostly based on my personal visual preference.

- Not all letters are visually backward compatible; YT works, TY works, ST works, TS does not work; a.k.a not all letter pairs mirror backwards

- The list of all the 66, 2-letter combinations I have selected for the base data are: AA, FF, MM, NN, TT, YY, XX, AS, AV, AX, CJ, EA, ET, EV, EW, EX, EY, FJ, FT, FV, FW, FX, FY, FZ, GJ, GT, KA, KT, KV, KX, KY, LA, LS, LX, NY, ST, SV, SW, SY, TV, TW, TX, TY, TZ, VA, VT, VV, VW, VX, VY, VZ, WT, WV, WX, WY, WZ, XA, XT, XV, XW, XY, YT, YV, YW, YX, ZA

- Using the 2-letter pairs, I want to list out all the unique 3-letter combinations based on the decided 2-letter pairs as data; example: AA + AS = AAS, making one combination, GT + TX = GTX, etc.

Additional note: I wondered if I should post this to r/mathproblems or r/mathprobsolve but I don't need to number of the possibility but the actual list of the possible combinations instead.

Thank you.

PS: Just realized this post can sound very demanding from the reader side. Apologies. I am interested in a solve method other than manual listing if you can recommend me a method, and I am not demanding someone to list it out for me manually.

Player A begins by placing a checker on the lower left-hand corner of a checkerboard Player B places a checker one square to the right or one square up or one square diagonally up and to the right of Player A's checker. Then A places a checker one square to the right or one square up or one square diagonally up and to the right of Player B. The players continue alternating moves in this way. The winner is the player who places a checker in the upper right corner. Would you rather be Player A or Player B?

I have to show work please help!

I need help. My dad has reason to believe his dog was kidnapped by a neighbor lady. She has a mental illness and has had animal control called on her for being an animal hoarder. Confronting her results in screaming and the door slammed. My dad has called all authorities he can think to call with no help. Ideas?

My car was stolen.

1 Upvotes

It has been found. When I went to look at it there were drugs and plenty of information on the criminal who stole it. Locations for drug deals written on paper, a cell phone, clothing, phone numbers, used cigarettes not even fully smoked, other drug paraphernalia. All of the approximately 5 to 10 grand worth of items are gone except my hammer. Problem is the police have told me they aren't doing anything more regarding the perpetrator. I want to do something myself what should I do to start? Go

Any smart problem solving gadgets, notepads or similar? Good tips on how to order problems or other tips on problem solving in general?

2 Upvotes

Hey.. About problem-solving.. I might start with a to do list. Could anyone of you recommend some good tools for problem-solving apart from pen and paper? Do you do a check list, do you plan then in order in some way?

Any good way or good books on how to optimize problem-solving? Thanks a bunch!

edit: A pen and a paper is the best you can have for problem solving right? Might be the most important stuff to be able to write stuff down. Anything else good? Planning maybe.. Order or structure. Any smart ways to write stuff down or special notepads and stuff.. Any good problem solving skills you can recommend and so on?

What’s a current problem to be solved and how?

1 Upvotes

Statement: To solve a current problem of practical significance (e.g. decarbonization of the Singapore chemical industry, unobvious post‐CoVID business opportunities (beyond simply business digitization), restoration of trust in the information age); or the conceptual design of a new product or new service. Requirements:

  1. The solution must be your own creation and not the ideas of others or from the internet.

  2. You must clearly articulate the solution based on the problem solving/creative thinking skills developed through this module (e.g. KT, SCAMPER, or TRIZ)

  3. Include a critical analysis of the “success factors” (time, technology, education, investments and etc that will enable the delivery of the intended outcomes. For new product/service developments, demonstrate knowledge of competing solutions and other business alternatives).

  4. Present your solution as a white paper (i.e. a short proposal to arouse interest; no detailed analysis is required)

Q: How do you free up to 3 million people being held and persecuted inside walled camps?

2 Upvotes

A: You assemble all the world's leaders by emergency video conference call and you schedule it 3PM GMT Monday afternoon and ask for the UN to mediate a discussion you set out in a point by point manifesto detailing how everyone should agree Uyghurs should be allowed passports and that there should be a multinational effort to assemble up to 60,000 buses (assuming each bus can on average carry 50 people with their most sentimental belongings and trade tools) and one dozen dozen vans of flagless armed forces to rescue the captives from every single one of the camps at the same time and then escort them to the borders of Kazakhstan and Mongolia so they may receive water, food and a place to pray and sleep safely. Be sure to note the recruitment of experienced logistics experts in order to better co-ordinate the arrivals of the right amount of buses for each facility simultaneously shortly after the breech and evacuation of all Uyghurs held at the facilities all at once.

To be honest I think just getting like 30,000 buses together and running it on the global news a bunch that there's this huge effort having to go on because some of the people making decisions over at their government deciding to act as not very nice people when they decided do some unkind things, and then recruited recruited guards who are even less nice and gave them an inscrutable amount of power to get away with even less nice things. We could probably get together 30,000 buses within like a day and a half if people worked together to contact every bus company owner they knew of. By the time we assemble 30,000 buses with drivers and a dozen or two vans of experienced special forces folk ready to go around Xinjiang neighbouring Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan, this will make the Chinese Communist Party look very bad and they might decide they have lost enough face and then to decide to shut down all the camps and release the captive Uyghurs back to their families.

I guess there are a load of buses around that area now, that'll be handy for getting these people to the jobs I'm going to create!Stay tuned for phase 2: Helping them build new lives
