At first I didn't completely read the Candle Problem too well, so I didn't really focus on
affixing the candle to the wall. I thought the thing was to let it not drip on the table, so I was just like, "Why don't you just stick it under the table.... then it won't drip on the
table it would drip on the
floor...." and then I read the answer and I was like, "Oh." The solution was really smart:
Apparently people fail to realize that the thumbtack box is a candle holder as well as a box for the thumbtacks. Also, I'm not normal because I didn't read the question too well so the reason for my failing apparently had nothing to do with my legit thinking. :S I'm confused now.
I really have to learn more about functional fixedness.
