Still waiting for inspiration to strike before tackling your latest project? Bad news: That eureka moment probably won’t show up until you’re long gone from the office.

If you’ve ever felt like you couldn’t possibly get anything constructive done — let alone after 4 p.m. — the latest survey shows you’re not alone. According to the poll by Crowne Plaza Hotels, the least creative and productive time in the day is 4:33 p.m. A full 92% of people admitted this is when they feel least inspired.

So when’s the optimal time to get work done? A full 25% of respondents said they burned the midnight oil when looking for inspiration. After pooling together the data, the survey says 10:04 p.m. is when your brainwaves are functioning at their peak.

Can’t stay up that late waiting for some creative juices? Nearly half (44%) of people cited taking a shower as the best way to coax a mental breakthrough. Bathrooms and running water may have more to do with creativity and productivity that you might think. Archimedes coined the phrase “Eureka!” after spilled bathwater helped him figure out how to measure volume.

And when that moment of inspiration finally arrives, be sure to write down the idea. The research showed that 58% of people forget their best ideas when they fail to get them on paper.

An Australian trial of two men on drug conspiracy charges was aborted after nearly three months and is on hold until a new jury can be called.

The reason for the wasted time and $947,000 in taxpayers’ money: Five of the jurors admitted to playing Sudoku, the number sequence game, instead of paying attention to testimony.

It was assumed the jurors had been taking very detailed notes, but the trial’s judge caught on when he saw some people were taking notes vertically, not horizontally.

One juror claimed the puzzle helped to keep his mind sharp: “Some of the evidence is rather drawn out and I find it difficult to maintain my attention the whole time.”

Next time you catch an employee or co-worker in the middle of a game of solitaire, remember that they’re just honing their skills before the next check run.
