Lateral thinking: There are a dozen eggs in a carton. Twelve people each take a single egg, but there is one egg left in the carton. This is only possible if the last person to take the egg, took it along with the carton, leaving the egg in the carton only.
What is lateral thinking?
Lateral thinking is that approach of solving problems which is creative and involves out - of - box ideas. The solution might not have anything to do with logical reasoning. The solution might differ for different people i.e., there can be more than one solution.
For example, in this question, when twelve people took twelve eggs, one each, from the carton, there is no mathematical or logical solution to how one egg is left in the carton. But we can reach for a lateral approach that the last person took the carton along with the egg, keeping the egg inside the carton.
