    The document presents 5 lateral thinking questions that require an unconventional approach to solve. Each question is intended to challenge assumptions and thinking in a new way. The questions involve scenarios such as surviving a 30-story fall, distributing eggs from a carton, calculating how much of a ladder would be submerged given tide changes, determining how many birds are left after one is shot, and comparing the weight of feathers versus coins.
