A point I've been making repeatedly to my maths tutees is that there's at least two categories (really a spectrum) of solution to problems: * A slow, plodding, way that will reliably work. * A clever, elegant, fast, way that may or may not work. You need to be able to do both.

I feel like this is definitely a group failure mode more than an individual one. When you've got people to talk about the problem you can talk about it indefinitely, but when it's just you you might as well roll up your sleeves and dig into it.

It can go the other way! Sometimes if it's just me then I can go "hmm, I'll go away and think about it a bit" but if there are other people I feel like I have to make progress and so I just do the thing that will do that.
