That is a well-known programmer's tip - explain your problem (coding wise,
naturally!!) to someone else. By getting your thoughts (hopefully!) in
order, your subconscious very often works out the answer. I am not a
psychiatrist, but I do know that this works - and has done for years.
Of course if you cannot explain your problem to someone else (because you
cannot get your thoughts in order...) then ...
If frustrates me - while we are on the subject - that I know that things are
possible, indeed often we can see them being done. But trying to replicate
them... ;)}
