Ingenuity as defined by Wikipedia refers to the process of applying ideas to solve
problems or meet challenges. Human ingenuity has led to technological developments
through applied science, but can also be seen in the development of new social organizations,
institutions and relationships. Ingenuity involves the most complex human thought
processes, bringing together our thinking and acting both individually and collectively
to take advantage of opportunities or to overcome problems.
