Even if you cannot initially solve the puzzle, by pondering it for a time attempting different solutions, you will open new pathways of thought. Once you see the answer, you will remember the avenue of thought that brought the solution to light. By stimulating your brain to forge new neural footprints you are opening your mind. With daily repetitive efforts to open new neural pathways, seeing the solution to any enigma will become obvious. This is the essence of creativity.
