When a problem confounds me, I try to approach the situation in different ways. Whether it is a math problem or a toy train that won't 

'chugga chugga choo choo' anymore, I don't give up.  I stop 

and think about what I know about the problem or toy. 

I test different solutions to see if I can solve 

it or make it work.  What strategies do you use 

to help solve a problem that confounds you?
