Finding the problem which can be solved is the hard part..
Many problems don't need solving!
yeah like solve an actual problem, you know what I mean?
How do you identify which problems are worth solving?
That's problem solving in a nutshell :)
Solving a problem isn't all or nothing.
I have gotten to the point that if I find a problem that no one seems to be solving - I wonder if it is the wrong problem ... or at least improperly formulated.
Don't look for ideas, look for problems to solve.
Can you give an example of a novel problem they can not help you solve?
Nope. Solve a problem worth solving
