A bit like the riddle:

 

What's greater than God

More evil than the Devil

Poor people have it

Rich people want it

Something like 90% of Harvard graduates couldn't work it out (they were American though! :D), but around 50% of school kids got it right - all about over thinking the problem really.

Reminds me of project management courses I HAVE to attend! They used that one James! I keep telling them that it doesnt matter what methodologies they try and teach me, I will still continue to plan 100K projects on the back of my fag packet and the outcome will have more to do with what Ive consumed over the weekend and bugger all to do with risk management!
