How would you read this?

VIII

Right, its the roman numeral 8

Now how would you read this?

IX

Right again, its the roman numeral 9.

Now how would you make “IX” a 6 by just adding a single line?

Think!

Now how many of you said by adding an “S” in front of it? There is a good chance very few of you thought of this. The reason? When you read about roman numerals your mind entered into a world of roman numerals. You didn’t even think that there is a possibility to do this outside of roman numerals.

To improve our analytical thinking, we need to think outside the “current view”. We need to see the world outside the little world that our mind gets trapped in.
