The name given to situations where people can give mutually contradictory versions of the same event. Named after the 1950’s Japanese film Rashomon which hinges on four conflicting descriptions of the same incident. Also commonly seen on the football field.

The Rashomon effect

A nice little framework for expanding the scope of your thinking and looking at a problem from a different angle: what if you approached from a different power of 10?

Really it refers to the Charles Eames film Powers of 10 which seems to be remarkably popular. Watch the short film (a good way to spend a few minutes) or explore the Powers of 10 site.
