The problem here is that the cards have gone here and there, and a thorough search is required
of both the yard and the house. The main obstacle is that they could be in places where they are
not visible, such as stuck in a tree or under the furniture. Possible solutions could be to divide
up, and each person searches a different portion of the house.

All the cards have to be stored safely once found so that they don’t get lost again, and finally,
the decks should be made whole again with only their respective cards.

KEY LEARNING

• Some problems require elaborate planning and solving: Every problem that we come across
in life cannot be solved immediately or with two minutes of spontaneous thinking. In some
situations, it becomes important to first identify the problem. Then, explore a number of
possibilities, study the merits of each possibility, and finally, select the best possible solution.

• Writing down everything is a good idea: When you are grappling with multiple thoughts and
ideas at once, it is best to write everything down so that you don’t miss anything. Writing things
down also offers more clarity than merely thinking.

• Organised problem solving is a good skill to have: With practice, a person can become adept
at solving complex problems simply by sticking to a proper process of problem solving instead
of getting intimidated by the problem.
