The $5 Challenge

[TKDTyler]

I read an interesting article from 2009 today on an assignment a professor gave at Stanford University in which each group was given $5. The goal was to gain the highest ROI on that $5 as possible; they could use as much time as they like to plan but once the envelope was opened, they only had 2 hours to make money. Once completed, they would present their method and ROI to the class.

It is an interesting article relating to not being limited by the constraints of money. Rather, thinking outside of the box and leveraging the non-monetary resources given to them.
