This Weeks Engineering Trivia Quiz

 Sometimes an answer is a combination of knowledge from different people.
 One person starts the ball rolling and others can piggy back from that start

. 
Answering trivia questions can also be used as a lead in to business activities.  
Typically as a starter to meetings, in order to "break the ice" and get some lateral thinking or maybe to start a brainstorming session.  It can start the thinking process and get people to look "outside of the square". 

Complimentary to, and also an excellent way to develop and stimulate the thought process is to use creativity exercises such as  http://creativitygames.net/   

If you are organising a  trivia competition, feel free to use any of the engcom questions and please give us a mention.  Maybe your company has an internal (or external) news letter.  Again we don't own the knowledge, but an acknowledgement would be appreciated

A few weeks ago a colleague asked me to help one of his customers.  A small family business manufacturing printed and plain wrapping paper.   They where struggling.
Originally they were distributers of paper products and had quite a good distribution business.  One of their suppliers had gone bankrupt and they had bought one of his flexo printers, some rewinders and ancillary equipment at auction – very cheap.
