Why can you sit 2 hours trying to solve a programming/math problem, give up, go to bed & then when you wake up, solve the problem in 10 minutes?

By working on the same thing hours on end, you start presuming that you only have a complex problem and that alll simple solutions have already been tried.
You go to sleep and start frrom the real beginning with extra awareness and suddenly, the solution sticks out.
This is also why “fresh eyes” work so well. Sometimes it’s not about stupid errors bit just that the bigger picture solves more.
