To ruin the fun of it, its called "unthinking".

The idea is to contend a problem using the inputs of the asker.

Darin wants crank windows, but they're currently electric.
A cranking, or rotational motion, is commonly used to generate electricity.
OH!? They're electric windows...

...!?!...

Crank generated electricity to power the windows!

It's an exercise in relative logic (re-lay-tive, not rel-uh-tive), designed to help you identify and establish relationships between illogical pairs. Fairly useless in normal life, but I also understand binary and ascii, with the aide of charts.
