A sharp mind in the morning?

I don't think so....

Generally, I think we are quite lazy in the morning and so are our minds. Imagine, one morning, a particular Monday morning and you walked into the office lift to find this scenario on your lift buttons. Your office is on 6th floor and....



There's no 6th floor on the lift buttons except the "3+3". What would you do? Of course press the 3+3 lah! Since I've been going to the same office for the past 1 and a half years, I could even press the right lift buttons with eyes closed or even if the buttons were not numbered.

Apparently, a company is promoting a product, some sort like an advertisement in the lift and it encourages one to have a sharper mind and thus the creative move to make pressing the lift buttons a little challenging. It created quite a buzz as my colleagues were all talking about it. I felt that it was quite creative despite the "lameness".

To my disbelieve, the stickers promoting the product and the mathematical challenge on the lift buttons were removed by noon. It could be due to 2 reasons:

  1. The company is advertising illegally
  2. The management received too many complaints
My guess would be the 2nd reason. I think there are too many people whom are either confused or they are too lazy to think. It's true that they say Malaysians are slow to accept new ideas and sometimes refuse to try new things. How are we going to progress if we can't even accept such a creative ad concept? Maybe it was those post/courier guys whom were confused and couldn't do the maths.

That's why la they need the advertised supplement to make the mind sharper! Isn't that the reason why the advertisement was there in the first place? Hahaha... a good laugh for a Monday morning.
