Unreferenced date December 2009 Genius of the Species is a short story by Reginald Bretnor first published with the author name R. Bretnor , which originally appeared in the anthology 9 Tales of Space and Time edited by Raymond Healy . The story is set in the Soviet Union where a rat problem is getting out of control due to the laziness of cat s. This problem is solved by a government program to use artificial means to raise the intelligence of cats to an IQ of 20.2 so that they can be taught Marxism and subsequently realize catching rats is for the greater good. However, due to a calculation error on part of the scientist responsible for this program, the cats end up with an IQ of 202 rather than 20.2. With this superior intellect cats become the dominant species in the Communism Communist world.

In scientific disciplines, a toy problem is a problem that is not of immediate scientific interest, yet is used as an expository device to illustrate a trait that may be shared by other, more complicated, instances of the problem, or as a way to explain a particular, more general, problem solving technique. For instance, while engineering a large system, the large problem is often broken down into many smaller toy problems which have been understood in good detail. Often these problems distill a few important aspects of complicated problems so that they can be studied in isolation. Toy problems are thus often very useful in providing intuition about specific phenomena in more complicated problems.

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Problem finding means problem discovery. It is part of the larger problem process that includes problem shaping and problem solving . Problem finding requires intellectual vision and insight into what is missing. This involves the application of creativity . Finding a problem can, depending on the problem, be either much easier or much harder than solving the problem. An example of a problem that was much easier to find than to solve is Fermat s Last Theorem . The problem is simple, is it true that it is impossible to separate any power higher than the second into two like powers? Solving the problem took 357 years. 1.1 CPF creative problem finding and CSPF creative science problem finding were put forward by professor Hu Weiping,China.

Notability date May 2009 A problem statement is a concise description of the issues that need to be addressed by a problem solving team and should be presented to them or created by them before they try to solve the problem. When bringing together a team to achieve a particular purpose provide them with a problem statement . A good problem statement should answer these questions What is the problem? This should explain why the team is needed. Who has the problem or who is the client customer? This should explain who needs the solution and who will decide the problem has been solved. What form can the resolution be? What is the scope and limitations in time, money, resources, technologies that can be used to solve the problem? Does the client want a white paper ? A web tool? A new feature for a product? A brainstorming on a topic? The primary purpose of a problem statement is to focus the attention of the problem solving team. However, if the focus of the problem is too narrow or the scope of the solution too limited the creativity and innovation of the solution can be stifling.

unsourced date October 2010 The 1 center problem or minimax or minmax location problem is a classical combinatorial optimization problem in operations research of facilities location type. In its most general case the problem is stated as follows given a set of n demand points, a space of feasible locations of a facility and a function to calculate the transportation cost between a facility and any demand point, find a location of the facility which minimizes the maximum facility demand point transportation cost. The simple special case when the feasible locations and demand points are in the plane with Euclidean distance as transportation cost planar minmax Euclidean facility location problem, Euclidean 1 center problem in the plane, etc. , it is also known as the smallest circle problem . Its generalization to n dimensional Euclidean spaces is known as the smallest enclosing ball problem. A further generalization weighted Euclidean facility location is when the set of weights is assigned to demand points and the transportation cost is the sum of the products of distances by the corresponding weights. There are numerous particular cases of the problem, depending on the choice of the locations both of demand points and facilities, as well as the distance function.
