    It's a funny thing.
    One of the main skils in my line is problem solving.

    As a developer, I need 100 skills, one of the main ones is problem solver.

    There are loads of ace dev problem solvers out there, and I am nearly one of them.

    But never in a million million years do we look at a sh!tty problem and come up with a 'we are all primates' playing with words solution

    like edison said. Its 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration

    All he does is ask silly questions. I suspect he's just building up some posts to look less like a sockie
