I am representing a fictional situation. Probably you will never face this 
situation in your life. But still, use your imagination to come up with 
solution.

Situation: You are only survivor from a plane crash. You have landed on 
some isolated island using parachute, you don't know where. You don't have 
any mean for communication with outer world. Oh yes, to add in tragedy 
there are few tribes people who have their own dialect which you can not 
understand.

Only food available on the island is the food produce by tribes people. 
You can not have fruits or kill animals as tribes people will not allow 
you as they are sacred to them. I repeat: ONLY FOOD AVAILABLE ON THE 
ISLAND IS THE FOOD PRODUCE BY TRIBES PEOPLE. To survive you must get food 
from tribes people. Without food you can survive for two days. This is 
your first day.


Challenge: They will not give you food until you can trade something 
useful to them. Your challenge is sell them something with or without 
learning their dialect. Of course they will not give you food second time 
if they think what you have given them is not useful or you have nothing 
anymore to trade. Find a long term solution.

Happy brainstorming session!

Regards,
MD

[Imagination Club] Admin: How it works






The imagination club is very new and is about stretching 
our imaginations and sharing creative ideas. 

So far, I've basically presented challenges to the club and 
you've come up with some creative solutions.

I'd really like YOU to throw some challenges to the group 
as well. They can be real challenges that are relevant to 
your business, pastimes or life - or invented challenges.
