really depends on which problems you face.

I'm most cases, being able to solve those problems is a useless skill

depends on the problem

CAD or engineering? maybe not (but also maybe. depends on the person)

design or marketing? sure why not. just cuz they can't do flippy shape puzzles doesn't mean they don't have other strengths

for the record I'm above average at the flippy shape puzzles but absolutely shit at being a functioning human being. if you chose me for your problem solving group based on my shape flipping score alone, you'd be sorely disappointed lol

that's not what I meant.

i mean some of those puzzles have arbitrary solutions, like when you get the solution explained, it just some random rule that makes no sense and other options are as justifiable.
