troubling situations, puzzles, riddles, brain-teasers. Provide some examples: leaving your
lunch at home, forgetting the directions to a restaurant, losing your keys, enjoying too many
sweets, finding that a pet has damaged some furniture, finding termites at home, not having
enough players for a baseball/soccer game.
