An opportunity that arises when a problem has to be solved. The opportunity may give rise to benefits that are unrelated to the problem being solved.
The rising cost of gasoline creates a market for alternative energy sources. This creates an probletunity for developing and marketing electrically powered hybrid vehicles to replace cars totally reliant on petrol and diesel. This will save on co2 emissions, which contribute to the greenhouse effect, and thus may reduce global warming.

Intuitively , the graduate student sensed that getting a new next door neighbor who smokes was a PROBLEMTUNITY, but wasn't sure why. In the next few days and weeks he realized that seeing how fucked-up his neighbor was, addicted to nicotine and unable to quit smoking, and that man's other problemtunities, let the graduate student see how blessed he was to be healthy and living correctly. The opportunity the problemtunity presented him with is a chance to spend more time studying, because to prevent his new neighbor's cigarette smoke from entering his apartment through its main door he puts a blanket at the base of the door, and to not need to stick parts of the blanket in the cracks on the side of the door more than once-a-day, he stays at home more, dedicates more time to study, and is getting better grades.
