What came first, the chicken or the egg?

This age-old logic puzzle is still around today. You hear it often enough in elementary playgrounds, as children learn to think about different possibilities, and in military think-tanks, where adults learn to question the question.

Perhaps a third approach to this test is a re-wording of the problem: not what was first, but what should be first!

In this study, you will learn to answer critical thinking tasks like the re-worded puzzle above with an interesting exploration of archetypes in literature and the visual arts.
