There is always a manual way to do things. That is not "solving a problem", but formalizing a proces so it can be automated. Takes a lot of talking to the domain-user to understand what needs be done, but that's it.
While that might not be agile, it was once a normal part of the design-phase.

I created a new computer game that did not exist before. I thought it up and wrote some code to play it online. There never existed any "manual way" to do it - especially since it existed in 4-dimensional space.

That's a nice example of "solving a problem".
You thought it up; that's defining the manual proces. We do not think in bytes as humans.

In that case, you'd be converting from binary to C#

Some bright spark decided to install scented "splash mats" in the mens room urinals.
Now it smells like someone pissed on a cinnamon stick in there
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Around here, in all the casinos across the river, the splash guards have the date written on them. And I thought being a casino cashier was a sucky job!

Is that the ones that smell like spewed up After Shock?

That is a very interesting story.
You could tell the higher authorities to switch to regular mats.
I'd rather be phishing!

Wish people would stop throwing cigarette butts in the urinal...they are so hard to light!

Throw a chicken broth cube on the floor, some Galangal, sliced unions and some carrots.
We got tiles, much easier to clean and hardly any smell. A wonderfull thing, this invention called "ceramic". Easy to clean, and a +20% decor morale improvement

God loves idiots; otherwise he wouldn't have made so many of them.
If you were to take advantage of them, you'd be rich by now.
