Exposing assumptions that block innovation

It's very difficult trying to "tell" people that their assumptions, prejudices and stereotypical views of other nationalities (country-markets) are often miles off the mark. You can often use brain teasers and lateral thinking puzzles to help people discover these for themselves. The first time I was asked to figure this one out I couldn't get beyond my own narrow (but "correct") view of the world. Try it yourself!

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't hit anything, there is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it?

For the answer, go to the earlier post with the photo with the double yellow lines and the manhole cover.
