How good at problem-solving are you (scenarios inside)?

Asked by whatnot (589points) September 2nd, 2010 from iPhone

Scenario #1: you’re commuting from work to home via public transit, you’re about to board the train and realize you’ve lost your transit pass and you do not have any cash or bank card on you. What do you do?

Scenario #2: you’re on a solo road trip in the middle of no-where and your car breaks down. No cell phone signal. No one in sight for miles. Now what?

Scenario #3: your rent is due tomorrow (and there’s no grace period). Payday isn’t for another week, and you’ve got $20 in the bank. Resolution?

Scenario #4: you just remembered a major paper due by 4pm and it’s now 12pm. You need to turn it in on time to get a passing grade. What will you do?

Scenario #5: Any recent situations requiring on the spot creative problem-solving?

How do you act/feel/think when you’re in an unexpected situation? Do you panic? Cry? Throw a temper tantrum? Or what?
