Problem Solving

Imagine you are given a screw in a wall, a toothbrush, and a lighter. Using only these materials, how could you turn the screw? The answer is probably not immediately obvious. In most contexts, the dominant functions of a toothbrush are related to dental hygiene. The dominant functions of a lighter are related to lighting cigarettes or starting a fire. Neither of these functions helps you turn screws.
