Ah, well, this sort of explains a method of mine.

When I get stuck on a problem, I get the dog and go for a walk. I can then mentally give the problem a sense of freedom and let it sort of wander round my mind. The problem get mental time, and mental space. 9 times out of 10, the solution appears. The trick then is not to forget it by the time I get home!!!!

With out doing that, I would never have passed my degree.
