Put aside Swordfish, XY-Wings, Squirm-Bags, color coding and other deductive tools. Deductive approaches are like the guy who tries to find a girlfriend by kissing every girl in town until he finds one who doesn't slap him. Stop spending your time kissing frogs! With inductive reasoning, you focus your attention on likely solutions. The results may take a little longer, but are much more gratifying and the process does more to sharpen your reasoning skills! If you can remember four or five numbers for fifteen seconds, you can begin using these techniques.
Gino Cox grew up in Wilmette, Illinois on Chicago’s north shore. He studied economics at Rockford College, marketing at Northwestern University’s J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, and accounting at Northern Illinois University. He eventually moved to Malibu, California, where he worked for various entertainment companies, including a stint as general manager of Fleshwound Films, a company that produces extreme sports videos and live events, and is credited as production manager for Crusty Demons: 9 Lives. While in California, he wrote, directed and produced a series of comedies for cable television and wrote several screenplays that received critical success in several minor competitions. His œuvre includes a fifteen-minute comedy loosely based on A Midsummer’s Night Dream, written entirely in iambic pentameter. Gino has also appeared on stage in minor roles as an actor (three productions, eighty performances) and dancer (two productions, three performances). Gino now lives, works and writes in Southeast Asia.
