In a good shape
Somebody
once said that everyone has one great idea that they won't turn into a
product, and later learn that someone else had the same idea, turned it
into a product and became wealthy. I sure know what mine was, the DaisyLift toilet seat handle.
Last night I had a dream in which there was a big swimming pool and a diving board above it. However, instead of being the usual flexible straight plank, this one was a solid inflexible arch that continued all the way down to water, shaped so that the diver can run down it and decide at what height he wants to jump forward off the arch. I wonder what the optimal shape for such an arch would be, in order to allow maximum choice of the takeoff point, or if the mathematics and physics work out as well as they did in my dream. I also wonder if my subconscious just invented this on its own, or whether I have seen a picture of such a diving platform somewhere.

Actually the DaisyLift never made anyone wealthy. May I ask who this is?
