So solve this one!

A law of physics states that two objects cannot occupy the same point in space at the same time.

You are sat in a small crew bus, a boat or perhaps an aircraft while, outside, Nigerians are shooting at it such that you are now sharing your space with small pieces of hot lead while trying to observe that law.

Upon reflection this may appear as one of those daily problems that simply defies solution. Either you accept that you may fail in this, ending up wounded or dead, or else you decide to find someplace with a different set of daily problems to solve.

I don't want to be a real party-pooper but some problems are, while basically the same, much bigger than others. It can be like the difference between walking across a six-inch-wide plank laid on the ground or one that is 30 feet up in the air, same basic problem but very different consequences for failure.
