The crow-and-trains problem discussed in the text asked you to determine the total distance a crow would fly while flying back and forth between two converging trains. If you initially conceptualize it as a distance problem, it is very difficult to solve; if you frame the problem in terms of _________, it is relatively easy to arrive at the solution.
A)divergent thinking
B)probability
C)deductive reasoning
D)time

Question

Framing the crow-and-trains problem in terms of time simplifies the solution process because it allows for calculating the total distance based on the crow's speed and the time until the trains converge, rather than trying to track the complex back-and-forth flight path.
