Just Something, Ponder About It~

Just recently, I posted this as my private message on msn, just something I wanted to find out:

Given f(x,y,z) = (2x+3y-z)/(4(x^2) + y^(2z-2x))... find 4+2.

And from the response that I got:

1 said that it was confusing,

2 got it right immediately,

2 got it right after being pushed a little to think further.

Its quite funny really, because the answer is quite obvious. 4+2 = 6, right? And yet, some people say that its confusing, its difficult, some needed more time to think about it.

And this is my point in mind when I posted this,

STOP THINKING SO MUCH!

This also applies in life I guess, when one thinks too much about something, one tends to think about all the complications that doesn't really actually matter.

Take the question for example, it gives a function of three variables, but it asked an elementary question which any being that knows how to add can answer. The equation is just to mess things up. It applies in life, we think about way too much things that isn't related to the problem, and thus, we can't see the simple clear solution that happens to be right in front of us.

I'll leave you to your thoughts right now and ponder this... but then again, don't think too long...
