Since most people here fancy themselves to be a bunch of big swingin' dick outside the box thinking marketers you may find this interesting.

Given $5 And Two Hours, How Much Money Can You Make?

The $5 seed money is basically meaningless, especially when you can use materials you already own. The obvious winning solution is to get a team of 1 dude and 4 hot girls and have him pimp them out.

If I try really hard and do nothing, $5.

I just sit there and watch the cash from the campaigns I'm running pile in, no $5 required.

Hmmm.... this is a good test. Really makes you think back to the basics about fulfilling a need.

If it was 10 years ago maybe one of them would have said "start google", the new class is definitely slacking

lol @ the students who got 650$ for a 3 minute ad from Ford.

Time is money and the more money you got the more valuable time is.

This is basically a tried and true example of how speed of implementation is what separates the mediocre business' from the great ones.

Speed of implementation was the most repetitive trait found by high growth companies and entrepreneurs. I forgot where I read this, I believe it was Inc. mag. If you actually look at industries where this can apply, like ours or IT, it is very true. Microsoft and all the leading software companies put out beta versions of their software so they're the first to market, and while their patents are pending, they have a whole team of testers who can just report any bugs back to them.

... it wasn't Ford. It was a company called "Frog Design" and they most likely obliged because the student probably convinced them to "donate the money for a school project."

Gotta admit the third one is some serious out of the box thinking
