Such as counterintuitive fixes to a problem, or where a mistake unexpectedly results in an even better outcome than originally hoped for.

    Hahaha.

    I used to have a home office room, and I bought and installed a whiteboard on the wall, for noting things down, planning, to-do list etc.

    For five years, it had a single scrap of paper blue-tacked to it, which read “1) Buy a whiteboard pen”.

    I eventually solved it by moving house.

      Thanks for the reminder. I put up whiteboards for my kids a bunch of years back, and all the pens are dead.

      Of course, both kids are in college and I have no use for those so maybe the boards should come down
