...a releif to be allowed to concentrate for several
minutes at a tim

•...I can now
see that it is more difficult to get a good
idea than I though before, but now I know
how to do it
•...I could have avoided a m
inor depression in my group
work, had I just know
n these tools before
•...W

In Alaska, during ice storm
s along the coastlines, there are m
ajor problems concerning rem
oving ice from pow
er lines
•There are a lot of bears in Alaska; m
aybe we can use them
somehow.
•Yes, w
e could make them
climb the poles, thus m
aking the power lines vibrate, so
that the ice will fall off.
•…and if w
e place fresh meat on the top of each pole, this w
ill attract bears, and make them
climb the pole to get the m
eat.
•Yes, and let’s bring the fresh m
eat in helicopters to the top of the poles.
•Hey, w
hat about we let helicopters hover over the pow
er lines. Their hovering will
vibrate the ice off the lines, thus solving the entire problem.
•Then w
e need stockpiles of gasoline in the area for the helicopter.
•Hey, w
hat about pouring gasoline on the wire and burn the ice aw
ay?
•Yes, or w
e could wrap heating elem
ents around the wires to heat it off?
