Also, even if they didn’t need to specifically be cubes, he still left part of the object behind.
Does it not matter how much he brings to the end?
Is the requirement for success here solely his speed?
Why not ditch the cube altogether?
Or is it a sum of both speed and “cube mass”?
If so, how much can he shave off and still compensate by being fast?
Could you just cut a small piece of it and sprint to the end?
Is there a minimum amount you need to bring?
So many questions…
Even if what he did was legit, then cutting the cube into a cylinder would be a smarter choice. Maybe not even a full cylinder, an octagon or something like that would have roll fine and saved so much work.
The real solution is to cut a square cube than the square needed by the end of travel, cut the large cube into a sphere and then transport it then cut the sphere into the cube with the right size.
Or use wheels.
Also, the smartest response to the situation in the picture would be to work together.
Should be 1015 cubes.
Should be “work intelligently” as well.
*intelligently
Management not providing their employees with adequate tools to do their job while also keeping them in the dark about the greater picture of their company. Ignoring their employee’s problems and then blaming those who try to solve it on their own.
Do I work with you
This is unrealistic, the client would never say thank you.
In my experience they’d carry on complaining, even after an apology and saying it’ll be put right.
This client is an introvert who took the entire day off to prepare for this phone call.
Or, you know, someone who doesn’t immediately resort to complaining or accusing new people of ill-intent to employ intimidation… There is a big overlap of the two groups, isn’t there?
That’s social anxiety, not introversion.
Thats “po-tay-to po-taa-to” if you have social anxiety to be fair. A bit like saying smart people instead of scientist.
Also one can have a phobia or struggle with the challenge phones have of being live audio without visual ques, without having any other anxiety for live socializing.
No, social anxiety and introversion are completely different things.
Social anxiety means that social situations cause you anxiety.
Introversion means that social situations drain energy.
Extroversion means that social situations give energy.
You can absolutely be an extrovert and have social anxiety.
Ah i see what you mean, medically speaking you are indeed very correct but i feel like words like introversion (and even social anxiety) have grown allot in public use where they are understood beyond the stricter scope of a medical diagnosis.
I wont use semantics to argue actual science but i do often consider that scientific definitions can and do evolve just like language. I fit quite a few criteria and have more then one diagnosis, yet i experience nuance beyond the strict definitions. I know many social events that are draining, and some that give energy, Many social settings i have anxiety about, and some where i am confident.
Yeah so if your job involves a lot of social energy you might not have enough energy to make a bunch of phone calls. Like it’s a little hyperbolic, but if I have to do a lot of talking to contractors I’m taking a full half day because after that I am going to want to sleep.
Is everyone purposefully missing the point in the comments?
Hah, love all the suits. This poster is for management. They see how smart they imagine themselves being the one whittling the sphere out of a block.
But what we don’t see is the frontline employees that queried the block, loaded it, shipped it, and did all the work of carving it. But the suit takes credit for it.
So you didn’t get that the cubes simply represent anything from products to ideas?
What we don’t see here really, is the unnecessary explanation that the ideology behind this image is to “think outside the box.”
My dude, my take was half joking. It’s a motivational poster, not Meditations… by Descartes.
But they understood a poster and are thus very smart.
making pyramids out of spheres does not sound very intelligent to me
But what if they’re made out of spherical magnets? I’ve seen those magnet sphere commercials and it seems to work really well.
Don’t work hard, cut corners.
work hard, cut corners, and also salaries, and (if possible) the workforce, and-
Seems like John was trying to… cut some corners
Seriously, that seems like what this poster is actually promoting. Whoever made it/put it up in the office wasn’t working particularly intelligent that day
No no you see, that was a smart manager, who wants to promote a can do attitude and later justify why his actions were justified, even though the public prosecutor had just had the office raided.

Smart people save a lot of work, in any era and civilization. Another example of ingenuity to transport of objects of many tons with only a handful of people.

Everybody has a Brain, but only few use it
Holly shot! Reminds me of a recirculating linear bearing, not what they were testing and not what they’re suggesting the Egyptians did but neat parallel.
Also if you push the front edge will dig into the ground, the force vector you apply has a downward component.
If the employees pulled it would lift the front edge and avoid the cubes getting stuck on obstacles.
The sphere looks taller than the cubes.
Perhaps it’s a mouldable material like clay to be re-shaped, or hard but to be cut down to a cube on-site.
the smaller ones are further away

But close to the waist height of the people pushing them.
The sphere is closer to shoulder height.
The guy is shorter
the first three people are the same distance away, suspended in the air, with their hands out
the cubes are behind them
it’s a clever trompe l’oeil
the meaning is: work smarter (by creating an optical illusion) not harder (by pushing a shape)
You can see the pile of chips behind him from making the sphere.
Blue collar with forklift and trolley looking at a bunch of office dweller in suits pushing cube be like:

It’s a team-building exercise that the management came up with. They might let some people go if it goes well, too!
Huh.
Do you have a link?
Sorry not any longer. It’s gone.
Why waste time carving it into a perfect sphere? They could have saved a ton of time by just making a wheel instead.
Or just shape it into a cylinder.
Aka. a wheel
Well, if it’s a very short one, and if you put a hole through it, maybe. At which point it’s a weird tube…?
Why not just leave it there and run across the finish line, since apparently it doesn’t matter if you get a cube across with you?
