The solution for the question... Is that a riddle or something?... Maybe not, I'm not so sure. I'm pretty bad at these questions...
I've been thinking for about 20 minutes, but I couldn't figure it out... I want to try to stick the candle not just think, but in a reality. Can I try?? It's difficult to think in my head...
The table won't be ruined at least we put the box with the pins under the wall where we want to attach the candle!!
For the next question; "would you do a better job on a task if you were rewarded for your work by someone or if you simply felt satisfaction from completing it? Why do you think so?", the answer is: "No, I wouldn't!!!" Because, I think I'll never ever ever solve this question even if someone give me a reward, and I don't want it. So, "What motivates people more, rewards or satisfation?" ... I believe satisfaction and "fun" motivate people more. If I could see some goal to finish, like "200 words more on my wirting paper till I finish", or "20 minutes to finish," I'll do a better job. Then, I'll be satisfied with my job when I'm done with the job. But if I hardly see the goal to solve the problem, I'd rather give up... Some people love to solve thoese questions even if it takes forever though. It depends on the subject too. Because I'm interested in language, I like to think about language even though it doesn't have answers or anything.
...Do I have a endurance? I am kinda worry about it now... :(
Miho, it isn't necessary to figure out the problem - it isn't an intelligence test at all. I'll explain the reason for the candle problem in the next blogging assignment! I agree that satisfaction is a good motivator - it's the topic of the next blogging assignment! :)
