A Traveller's Note

Motto: Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.Lao Tzu

About one and a half hour away from the polluted, noisy and traffic-jammed Bucharest you can take a deep breath of fresh (not squeezed...) forest air. The sky has a more intense blue, the Sun is burning more efficiently and broken clouds look lighter when you look at them from the mountains. At night more stars are shining in the clear sky and also storms are more spectacular, with lightening and thunder definitely more impressive than back in the crowded city.

It was raining a lot in Bucharest in the past couple of months and the specific smell has triggered in me some serious mountain nostalgia.

I remember from my childhood that there were 1-day excursions organised by the school. Other times we would go for longer times, during summer, spring or winter camps. Every time it seemed like an adventure, with attached emotions and fears. My biggest fear was the one of not being sportive enough compared to other kids. I was striving to minimize the probability of either being left behind or delay everyone climbing the mountain. Later on I developed another concern, connected to associating proper clothing and the right shoes ... to be honest, this did not go away with age ...

Years have passed and the pattern of my trips to the mountains have changed. Getting to the same childhood destinations nowadays has to do more with a set of wheels and a pair of sunglasses. But the specific smell of the fresh air still reminds me of the school teacher, telling us children to empty our lungs of residual air and fill them with clean forest one.

The grass usually invites either bare-foot walking or plain sleeping on . The scenery always brings big stupid smiles on my face. I drift towards another distant memory, in a place close to Vienna, back in 2009. A car and then a funicular, took us in less than 1 hour somewhere higher than 1000 meters for sure ... We set then a reasonable destination target for light walking. It was not supposed to be a huge climb, it looked quite ambitious only compared to the passivity of the last years - it was supposed to last for about one and a half hour. So we started enthusiastically... After about 20 mins, our path reached a nice mountain cottage. The Sun was smiling at us, the food looked quite inviting, we were already tired (!), so we decided to have a rest ... I took a blanket to lay down on the grass away from my friends, just for a couple of minutes... Then I turned on a side, covered myself a little better, got warm and relaxed and ... when I opened my eyes again, I felt strangely well rested... my friends told me they did not have the heart to wake me up ... for about one hour!...

I felt like doing this again today, but had a plane to catch... I know however that I will have a good night's sleep, with a smile on my face, grateful for another beautiful day, because ... my hand took a dive in the cold water of a small mountain creek, my lung took deep breaths in fresh humid forest air, my face felt the warmth of a loving Sun, my eyes looked up to the Caraiman cross and then all around to the mystic mix of shades of green and grey on the mountains surrounding it; then my whole heart enjoyed a show of light and shadow mixing through some fluffy clouds. Later in the evening my entire body was lifted above the clouds and I witnessed once more an incredible sunset from the airplane. And before going to bed, I went out to enjoy the beautiful night vision of Karlskirche, mirrored in the calmness of a small pond in the middle of Vienna.

All those above crossed my path within one day... It made me realize how important it is to remember to daydream while carrying on our tiny life. To acknowledge that all the beautiful things in the world are there for a myriad of reasons, among which filling the eyes of hasty travelers with beauty and their hearts with gratitude - just for being alive!

Good night!

WHAT WOULD THEY SAY TODAY?

I have received today this paper that has made me angry:

http://seekingalpha.com/article/2245613-cold-fusion-fusion-telecommunications-inc

Actually, it is not about our Cold Fusion, bur from sci-populistic reasons it infamously tells that “cold fusion died an inglorious death”

This is completely false, however, sadly enough, after 301+ months of history, of bright and smart worldwide efforts, the desired contrary of that: “it has started a glorious and useful new life” is also not true.

We still have to wait while fugit irreparabile tempus however hope is still there…but for how many of us?

I have repeatedly stated that classic cold fusion/LENR is not what we wanted it to be and, as such, it remains weak and unmanageable. Few of you believe me, however cannot contradict me with facts. The new forms of CF (if we take it in its broadest sense) are under strong attack on many fronts.

The state of the field is not a source of happiness and I am asking with sadness:

What would my dear, good friends, already in the Heaven of Cold Fusion: Hal Fox, Chris Tinsley, Gene Mallove, Akira Kawasaki, say today about CF’s status?

A painful question and unanswerable- infinite energy generates also infinite patience?

I will ask them all  soon, but I am not in great hurry, so I am asking you now, my friends still in battle, old and young, what do you think- what would our Heroes say and DO? And you?

INTERVIEW WITH THE CEO OF DEFKALION GREEN TECHNOLOGIES, MR. ALEX XANTHOULIS

In order to see the context and deeper details of the Gamberale Report published here: http://animpossibleinvention.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/dgt-faulty-demo-140502-english.pdf I have asked the most authorized person- the leader and strategist of the Defkalion company to give me an interview. CEO Xanthoulis has accepted and has answered to all my questions. It was an illuminating discussion despite revealing somewhat shadowy sides of that Report.

Q: Based on the recent publications of Mr. Gamberale & various others, what is your position?

A: Firstly we need to see what happened during the two live streaming presentations.

From 1^st June 2013, our chief engineer Mr. S Amaxas & Mr. Gamberale were setting up the Laboratory in Milan. From the 25^th June they were both running tests checking the set-up, the performance and the software.

During those days they made various adjustments and improvements which were mutually agreed upon, based on my knowledge.

On Friday the 19^th July, I and my team arrived in Milan. In the meeting after my arrival NO questions or quires were raised by Mr. Gamberale on the performance of the equipment.  Furthermore on Sunday the 20^th July our stock broker arrived and as per my promise given to Mr. Gamberale previously, he opened the Accounts to receive shares of the Defkalion Holding Company of Canada and he signed for them.

On Monday the 22^nd  July Mr. Gamberale performed and presented the live streaming test for Italy in Italian, he was enthusiastic about the technology to all of the attendees.

Attending were journalists and scientists from Italy to whom afterwards in private he explained in detail the technology. On the same day, all night and till early morning of the next day our technical staff was preparing the equipment for the Live Streaming presentation for ICCF18.

On Tuesday 23^rd July at 11.00am Mr. Gamberale declared himself sick and did not attend the live presentation.

The Live presentation was witnessed by many attendees, including Mr. Mats Lewan, who later was controlling independently and in detail all of the equipment and operations.

The live presentation was carried out with several difficulties such as power failures, no A/C and inadequate time to degassing from Argon to Hydrogen. During this live test none of the attendees raised any questions, doubts, whatever.

On Wednesday the 24^th July and before our departure from Milan we were requested to participate in a meeting with the following participants, Alex Xanthoulis, Stavros Amaxas, Franco Capielo, Lucas Gamberale. At the request of Mr. Gambarale our CTO Mr. Hadjichristos was not invited to attend.

During this meeting Mr Gamberale made a presentation of his “SO CALLED” secret test which were conducted on the 18^th of July, I was totally surprised and shocked because his attitude the previous days (of the 19^th, 20^th, 21^st, 22^nd  July) was positive and enthusiastic.

My question to him was why he accepted the Defkalion Shares, why he made the Italian presentation and why he brought the subject up when we could not repeat the same test together because of our departure schedule. I have never received any answer to the above also to why he excluded Mr. Xadjichristos from that meeting.

Due to shortage of time and since all the questions were on the calorimetry, I suggested to send him test that were conducted without calorimetry. These tests were delayed to be sent due to my health problems at that time. However they were actually sent one month later. In fact this information was sent two times and although this information was strictly confidential we never received further questions or any answers.

So I was shocked when I saw published a test of Mr. Gamberale that was never conducted together with us to prove his position. Although a strict NDA was signed by Mr. Gamberale with a very high penalty clause in the case of a breach.

I was strongly advised by our personnel to use our Lawyers for the breaching of the NDA, but so far I have not taken any action, as I strongly believe that there are strong hidden interests.

Q: You mean that Luca Gamberale has made his test prior to your arrival and official tests in Milan?

A: Yes, he could not have done it during our presence or after because our engineers were next to the reactor all day of our presence and when we departed, we have taken the reactor with us. Anyhow, he told us that his test was on the 18^th.

Q: Who prepared the software on National Instruments Board?

A: N.I.  and Luca Gamberale according to our instructions.

Q: Did Luca Gamberale attend tests prior to Italy and ICCF presentations?

A: He was two days in Athens, 15 days in Vancouver and 35 days in Milan conducting tests.

Q: Did he have any remarks or objections during the tests?

A: None that I know.

Q: Did he really receive shares of the company?

A: Yes, and he signed for the shares.

Q: Did he signed a NDA?

A: Yes, with a very high penalty for breach of contract. My question is: if we go legally against him, who is going to pay the penalty? Probably, somebody has promised to pay for him. What the public seems to forget is what big interests are behind this technology.

Q: Do you believe that Luca Gamberale is a good scientist?

A: Yes, I believe that Luca Gamberale is a brilliant scientist and I am wondering how on earth he did not understand earlier that calorimetry was wrong.

Q: Was calorimetry wrong?

A: I am not a scientist. Calorimetry was not set by us but from brilliant and well known international scientists.

Q: Do you have any scientists who observed the tests and examined the data?

A: As I have repeated several times, we are a business entity and not a lab. Up to now, we have 12 scientists from big international companies who have signed and accepted our tests and data and 3 who were neutral and still examine the data with a lot of questions and answers.

Q: What about your interview with Mats Lewan?

A: Mats is a very good journalist but he, as every journalist, takes bits and pieces from every sentence and he publishes accordingly depending how he wants to present his view.

Q: Are you going to publish any scientific paper on this issue?

A: No, the next publication will be on our R6. Anyhow what we are doing and how we do it concerns only our shareholders.

Q: You have announced that you will trade your shares in the stock market soon.

A: We believe the right moment is when R6 pre-industrial product is ready and licensed. Anyhow our new shareholders do not believe in stock market. I have to convince them.

Remark: “My personal opinion is that the statements  from the Gamberale Report re. the malfunctioning of the flowmeter have nothing to do with the actual modus operandi of the Hyperion R5 in conformity with the Defkalion Protocol during standard tests and the Demo"

By now I have already communicated to you more than in all the other nine roots put together. This would be true in case you have been reading properly each line and everything lying between and behind those lines. If you haven't, I invite you to slooowly read them again.

Did you find different meanings? Did you imagine different scenes and different persons on the second reading?

That could be triggered by the common while abstract nature of those words. We go through life convinced that we listen, understand and react. Actually we may very well spend most of our life imagining, translating and acting on what we think we know.

Why do I believe that current communication pattern has become one of the deepest roots of the current status of our world? One reason could be that we started to take too many things for granted. We got used to so much communication, on so many levels and coming to us in so many packages that we are gradually turning off old-fashioned communication, the one occurring on a basic intuitive level. We (ab)use surrogate communication so much that we are gradually convinced that we know it all. We get carried away by online presence of hundreds of remote friends, adrenaline rush of movie characters, news about public persons, accomplishments of sportsmen and emotions of artists, most of them happening on a flat cold computer or television screen, while we are comfortably snoozing on our couch. We are nicely fitting in pre-packed life stories and consume the enormous supply of communication which is being fed to us. Quantity seems to have won the war over quality and is now taking heads-on another challenge: our time.

Some of us even got used to the idea that robots and people have daily access to our communication and don't even bother about it anymore. A handful is fighting to win back the right to intimacy, but the 007 Genie is out of the bottle for a long time on a planetary scale. One can only hope that the paranoia of supervised communication may actually have positive consequences, such as bringing back into our life the communication channel which matters the most: eye to eye. One can dream that someday we will go back to using all our given senses at the same time (including common sense!) and therefore minimize as much as possible misunderstandings.

I wonder what else is to be said as a closing note. I believe at this point it would be better just to challenge you to remember any classic French movie, so you can draw your own conclusions. When I was young I used to hate the fact that those movies had no ending. Today I would just smile, turn off the tv and move on. 

I have learned that one should not seek answers to all life questions. Some things, facts and people are just there for a reason which will reveal itself much later in the process. There are events which just happen - for apparently no reason. Asking for answers and looking for endings in advance just leads to misunderstanding of much bigger pictures.

MY PHILOSOPHY ENTERS THE BATTLE FOR PRESENCE.

What can do an old, incurable workaholic during a period of relative absence of news? Inactivity, like the sleep of reason produces monsters- this is a certainty; it is easy to imagine the destructive effects of a prolonged hibernation! Being aware of this, I have used the not-so-interesting -times, almost two and half months from the start of Defkalion’s technical Armageddon with and for Hyperion-6, up to the Anniversary MIT Colloquium- to compose a review of my life’s philosophy.

In my basic profession, Research, as in many other creative activities, the great differentiator is Initiative; the mark of great researchers (as we have discussed many times with my friends Yiannis and Axil) is the rare ability to make a Synthesis.

Not an easy task, we have a natural trend to misinterpret our own ideas, to use critical thinking much too gently, to ignore the subtetlies and to by-pass the paradoxes and internal contradictions that are core elements of a good thinking method/system.

Anyway, I have tried to solve the puzzle, have welded together many fragments of truth forming a something with logical consistency.

When this opus was almost ready, I started to think: where to publish it, in a place with good visibility, making it a “presence”.

This publication must have a much broader audience than my modest blog EGO OUT where these ideas are already there in pieces. lacking unity!

The Foundational Questions Institute’s 2014 Spring Contest

Being aware that great questions illuminate us better than great answers, I knew about the existence and generous aims of http://fqxi.org/ Then Jed Rothwell, leading supporter and librarian

of our field has published there a great essay: “Cold fusion may have revolutionary potential”; I hope this will be great winner

despite the present bad reputation of cold fusion; till the end of the contest (August) this can change (and the understanding of the concept as well).

FQXI’s 2014 Spring Contest is about: “How Should Humanity Steer the Future? “ I had a secular revelation- this is my aim too,

the Ego-Out philosophy is the obligation of an individual to tell

Everything he/she has learned in a lifetime in order to help the future generations to make the world a better place. http://www.unwords.com/unword/ego-out.html

What a wonderful opportunity to make my philosophy known!

I wrote an essay for the contest, it is here:

 http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/2015

Its title and its essence are:

“A pragmatic strategy for catalyzing self-sustained progress”

My general ideas about how our world works and about how our problems can and have to be solved are described; these are used in my understanding of what cold fusion is, too.

I am asking all my old and new friends; please visit and read the essay, if you like or dislike relevant ideas and/or the integral ideology of it, please make comments as requested by FQXI. Please help me only making the essay known to all the good people who actively care for the future of Humanity.

The essay is not about an ideal but about realism; I know that the public prefers pleasant perfect crystal shaped lies to unpleasant fragmentary truths.

However by this essay the ideas became present and universally accessible hopefully waiting for their day to come.

Thank you,

Peter 

HOW LONG WILL COLD FUSION’S 25 YEARS WAR LAST?

My Blog went through a longish period of hibernation.

As I have told you, I have finished describing the Problem part of the LENR field and the Solution part is still in intensive construction, nothing relevant can be told just now

It was a dead season; even the usual old subjects were not de-frozen and discussed on our forums.

Regarding the real battlefields, no relevant information will be published before Rossi’s professors of three continents long time experiment report and/or Defkalion’s pre-commercial Hyperion 6, whichever will arrive earlier. A few weeks, probably.

Tomorrow will start the festive 2014 Cold Fusion (LANR) MIT Colloquium celebrating the 25 anniversary of the announcement of cold fusion. Three days of interesting presentations and discussions. It is remarkable that the spirit of this meeting has progressed from the scientism of ICCF-18 to

including engineering in the way to obtaining usable heat excess.

The problem of cold fusion is not more “to be or not to be” but

“to be useful or not be at all.”

As it is adequate for this anniversary, some of the papers have features of a review, or are concerned with the basics or line out a strategy. My selection of the genuine anniversary papers is as follows:

Mitchell Swartz “Our Emergent Need for a Clean, Efficient Energy Production Source”
Arik El-Boher “Progress Toward Understanding Anomalous Heat.”

David Nagel “Scientific and Practical Questions about Cold Fusion”

 Brian Ahern “Nanomagnetism for Energy Production”

Nikita Alexandrov “Advanced analytic and highly parallel Cold Fusion Experimentation”
.
 Charles Beaudette “Post Missouri Priorities for Cold Fusion”
Nathan Cohen “The Tortuous Path of Innovation and Implications for Cold Fusion in the next Decade” 
Peter Hagelstein “Landscapes in cold fusion research”
 
The other experimental and theory papers do not seem to be very surprising or game/paradigm changing, with the possible exception of:                                                                        Tadahiko Mizuno: “Replicable Model for Controlled Nuclear Reaction using Metal Nanoparticles.”  See please my failed attempt http://egooutpeters.blogspot.ro/2013/12/cold-fusion-what-now.html to learn what this co-author has concluded about reproducibility in cold fusion experiments. Perhaps now he will say more.
I am especially curious to listen to or read these presentations and I hope the organizers and our nice reporter from Cold Fusion Now will be fast and of excellent quality as usual..
It is sad that many great contributors are missing from this cold fusion feast. Surely, due to my talent to make blunders I will forget many good people but I still think about Founding Father Stanley Pons, discoverer and creator of the Ni-H LENR line Francesco Piantelli, 89ers as Akito Takahashi, Yeong Kim, Li Xing Zhong, Jean-Paul Biberian, Michael McKubre (traveling) It is most unfortunate that it is considered as axiomatic that the lattice is the place where CF takes place and the active sites (NAE) concept is not welcome at this meeting; therefore our very merituous leading author and thinker Edmund Storms is not there. I think scientific disputes should not be taken as personal. Follow please my example- I agree (even pre-agree)  with Storms in principle but I strongly disagree in the details; I also think lattice is vital for LENR but the reactions take place on it, not in it. In cold fusion-as in many other fields we have mainly fragmented truth and what seems to be opposites are de facto complementary. It is not “my truth” vs. “your truth” – we all are still well immersed in a pond of ignorance and error trying to swim to the island of technology. Please let me to organize the coming 50^th anniversary and I will invite all the important researchers if they agree with me or not.
LENR+ i.e. enhanced excess heat will be only implicit at the meeting; due to a diversity of causes a decisive Defkalion demo with Hyperion R6 could not be included in this 3 days program. It will be a separate, unique event in the near future.
Both Nature and history dislike round, seemingly beautiful numbers; e and π are the greatest “stars” and are irrational
The Hundred Years War lasted some 116 years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Years'_War and now I predict that Cold Fusion’s 25 Years war will last 304 months instead of 300 and will be finished by an absolutely convincing, inexorable demo.
Big Science, Big Oil, Big Money and their close associates are slowly thinking and will need up to other 6 months to see what is obvious- the New Energy Era has started.
My best wishes of success and illuminations or revelations  to the organizers and the participants of the MIT CF Colloquium!
Long live Cold Fusion- by its real name!

OPEN LETTER TO BILL GATES

Dear Bill,

My name is Peter Gluck, I am living in Cluj, Romania. After

working for 51 years in the chemical industry, then for new sources of  energy, web-search, Internet journalism and consultancy- I am now an independent blogger interested in real life problem solving.

See please http://egooutpeters.blogspot.com I have experience in

R & D in the three realms of Matter, Energy and Information- and I want to use it till I am here upstairs.

I have studied your recent Annual Letter 2014 and I am very positively impressed- it is more than an thorough analysis- it is a real holistic synthesis. I like it and I take it as an opportunity to congratulate you for everything you have done for Mankind during your Microsoft era and after it. You are very rich however NOT your richness defines the best your personality and activity but your creativity and desire to help those in need. Your richness belongs to the area of meritocracy.

I am writing you because I have an ideology & strategy to donate to you and I dare to think it is something that can improve a lot the effectiveness and efficiency of your Foundation.

I know that the Internet is wonderful, however I am unable to predict if:

 a) my Open Letter will indeed ever ‘arrive’ to Bill Gates;

b) if he will read it, and

c) if he will take my suggestions in consideration. Anyway, I have not much to lose. I have had discussions with really great people as the writer Arthur C. Clarke and even with a Greek Goddess- see please [1]- who has explained me the root causes of the recent global Crisis already in 2007.Maybe I will have luck in the present case too Perhaps the rule of six- or less degrees of separation will help. My dear reader, perhaps you know a way to Bill  Gates?!

The 2014 Annual Letter has already generated aome 4000 Open Letter to Bill Gates.

The Gates Annual Letter

I agree that the world is a better place now than it was before, despite the general validity of the Twin Peaks Principle: “Evil is indestructible and always wins.” Actually Evil changes its form and its intensity decreases sometimes. ‘Geography is destiny’ and ‘History is a trap’ are evanescent truths in many places. Not in North Korea as an extreme negative example.

I am very pleased to see that you are using the same strategy- complete definition- first negative as in my problem solving rules.

(the 20 rules are attached to this letter).

Yes, the removal of the imaginary obstacles – in this case Myths is the first, decisive step.

To stop all these myths we have to fight the inherently natural trend of poor (and in a smaller extent- rich) countries to become kleptocracies where corruption is endemic and systemic being modus cogitandi, operandi and vivendi for the politicsl leaders and  citizens.. If human rights are not cannibalized by super-human privileges- the 3 myths can be defeated. Problem solving is ineffective when the privileged people in a country take more profit from the problems than from the  solutions.  

The global problem is aggravated by what we know as Crisis- due to complex causes, the Whole (contrary to its natural state) is becoming smaller than the sum of its parts. I know the explanation of this national/global tragedy from the best Person possible, [1] but due to the Cassandra Syndrome insignificantly few people believe “us” Nor Athena, neither I want money, we just want to solve the heinous, persistent and recurrent  problem.

I have studied your Foundation’s strategy with admiration; I think it can be characterized by aiming to do the maximum good directly at the problems/humans interface where the need and the pain are the greatest.

What I think it could be the best for your long range-greatest scale effectiveness is to act complementary at the deepest core of the problems/solutions interface where the positive effect is the greatest.

Very specifically it is about solving the essential problems of technology in the optimal mode; this will have the greatest possible positive impact on the future of the Mankind.

The core problems of Technology. [2]

The best and smartest definition of Technology due to Pierre Le Goff is:

CONTROLLED PHENOMENA OF

TRANSPORT, TRANSFER AND TRANSFORMATION OF

MATTER, ENERGY AND INFORMATION

THAT CREATE SOMETHING USEFUL FOR PEOPLE.

Simple and comprehensive. The global situation is as follows:

a) we, humans have solved quite well the transport and transfer of information (with a decisive contribution of Microsoft). Transformation on the DIKWP- data- information- knowledge- wisdom – prediction scale is an endless problem that has to be solved for each case again and again.

for energy is situation is much worse, the domination of fossil fuels used via destructive burning is the shame of human technology and the weakness of the natural regenerable sources. WE NEED NEW SOURCES OF ENERGY! My blog Ego Out (ego “out” i.e. lost ego that is the information, knowledge and wisdom lost by the death of n individual) – is dedicated to the best new energy sources of the near future and to real life problem solving. A decisive step will be made in New Energy this year! Please believe me

For matter- chemistry, physics, materials science are fighting on many technological fronts; it would be unfair to tell which is more important- however nanotechnologies and nanoplasmonics appear to be a cornucopia of great possibilities.

The starting idea- what can the Gates Foundation do now?

There is no real equivalent of the Nobel Prize for technology. The Foundation could create it in the most adequate form- three prizes:

Gates Prize for Core Technology of Matter; 

Gates Prize for Core Technology of Energy;

Gates Prize for Core Technology of Information.

I bet this will be the catalyst for great achievements. Matter and energy technologies will follow information technology in solving their fundamental problems.

PROBLEM SOLVING RULES –INTERNATIONAL

by Peter Gluck

ENGLISH.    

It is available in 21 languages

Motto:

“ I think, I exist.

   I decide I live.

   I solve problems, I live with a purpose.”

1. There are NO isolated problems, they always come in dynamic bunches

2. There are NO final solutions for the really great problems, these have to be solved again and again.

3. NOT solving the problem, but defining it is the critical step.

4. NOT the unknown data, but those known and untrue are the greatest obstacle to the solution.

5. .NOT what we know, but what we don’t know is more important for solving the problem.

6. NOT the main desired positive effect, but those secondary negative and/or undesired effects decide in most cases if a solution is implemented.

7. NOT all problems have a complete, genuine solution.

8. NOT the solutions that seem perfect from the start, but those which are very perfectible are the best in many cases.

9.  NOT the bright, shiny, spectacular solutions but those elaborated, worked out with difficulty and effort and patience are more valuable and have a larger area of applicability.

10. NOT the solutions that are logical and perfectly rational, but those that are adequate for the feelings of the potential users, even if they are ilogical, have the greatest chances of fast implementation.

11. NOT the quality of the solution but the speed of its implementaion is the decisive factor in many cases. It can be better to have a partial solution applied fast than a slower almost perfect solution.

12. NOT always long hours of hard work and great efforts, but (sometimes) relaxation and fun is the best way to obtain solutions for (awfully) difficult problems.

13. NOT our own problems, but the problems of other people are usually more boldly and creatively solved by us

14. NOT the solutions worked out by us, but those borrowed. bought or stolen from others are more easily accepted and implemented.

15. NOT the enhancement of human strengths but the limitation

of human weaknesses is more useful for efficient problem solving

16. NOT the very careful perfect planning, but the smart assuming of risks and firm decision taking are the practical keys to successful problem solving.

17. NOT always the existent, real problems, but many times the fictive, imaginary ones are the most difficult to be solved.

18. Do NOT accept the premises of the problem, change them as necessary and possible.

19. Do NOT stop at the first solution, seek for alternatives.

However, for the really advanced problem solvers, there is a SUPER –RULE- the most important of all;

20. NOT the wise application of these rules but the finding of the specific exceptions to these, is the real high art of problem solving.
