Problems worth admiring.
I'm fascinated by problems that were solved in ways nobody expected. Not interface problems — real world ones. The kind that reveal something true about how people think and behave.
The problem
Elevator rides felt agonisingly slow. Passengers complained constantly about wait times, even when lifts were running on schedule.
The solution
Someone installed floor-to-ceiling mirrors on the elevator walls. No mechanical upgrade. No faster motors.
Why it worked
People got busy checking themselves out. The wait didn't get shorter — attention just went elsewhere. Perceived time is not the same as actual time.
