Recently, I brushed up on a question to find a parking space number, and there is a row of numbers in the picture: 16, 06, 68, 88, 98, and a red car is parked in the middle, asking what the parking space number is. The comment area was noisy, some people said 78, some people guessed 87, and some people joked that "if you move the car away, you will know".

In fact, this question is not so complicated, it is a question of perspective. At first, I also stared at the numbers to find patterns, 16 to 06 difference 10, 06 to 68 difference 62, the more I calculated, the more chaotic it became. It wasn't until I saw someone say that I looked at it backwards, and suddenly I understood - turn the picture upside down, and the numbers immediately became 86, 88, 89, 90, 91.

In this way, the vacant parking space number in the middle is obvious, it is 87. It's like looking at a map in life, looking at the way you get lost, but looking at it backwards is clear. Last time I went to a strange community to find a friend's house, according to the house number to find a long time wrong, and then found that the unit number is from left to right, but I remember it from right to left, change the direction and find it instantly.

The ingenuity of this question is to break the inertia. We usually read the numbers upright, who would have thought of the other way around? Just like writing a plan at work, it is easy to get stuck if you always follow the old ideas, and if you think about the needs upside down, you may have new inspiration.

So, don't stumble when you encounter a problem that you can't figure out, try it from a different angle. Just like this parking space number, turn around, and the answer is clear at a glance. The problems in life are often like this, not that difficult, but we don't find the perspective that we look at backwards.
