PIC: Are you smart enough to open this press without breaking all the plates?

Alan Loughnane

Quite a conundrum…

Everyone has opened a cupboard door only to be greeted by some falling porcelain at some stage in their life.

We can only hope that you were on your own at the time so you didn’t have to put up with the inevitable sarcastic cheer that follows every broken piece of tableware.

Now, there’s others out there who need your help. This is your time to be the hero you always knew you could be, if you can just help this person solve a dilemma.

This picture, posted on Baoliao Commune, a Taiwan-based Facebook community, is seeking help to find out a simple way of opening this press, without breaking every plate inside.

Brought to our attention by Indy100, the post has received over 16,000 likes online but very few solutions on how to get past this devilishly tricky situation.

Some of the solutions include putting blankets on the ground to catch the plates, or breaking the cabinet at the top and lifting the plates out that way, neither of which seem very promising.

How would you do it?
