6 Seconds of Thought

Ok so the basis for this entry was the following quote from one of the girls on my course 'For you, I'll give it some thought...maybe six seconds of thought...' Clearly a very flattering and generous offer :-)

Later that night whilst waiting for a Pizza to be delivered, I got to thinking about just how generous that offer was, what could someone accomplish in 6 seconds of thought and more importantly where the hell was my pizza.  Anyway in the next 6 seconds this is what I thought. 

1. Pizza delivery in Lund is remarkably slow
2. The city is tiny and full of students
3. Students want to earn money and they ride their bikes everywhere
4. Why doesn't the pizza shop take advantage this, hoist a flag outside everytime it has a delivery to send out and get a passing student to take the delivery for a small fee?

In 6 seconds I had come up with maybe the greatest business idea in the history of Sweden (Ikea who?)... or had I?  As I ravenously tucked into my Pizza half an hour later I thought about the delicious smell of pizza wafting up from my bike basket on its way to someone elses home and wondered how many of these student delivered pizza's would reach their final destination....
