Many problems in this world are difficult, with high complexity. Mathematically speaking, they are NP-hard.
This means that the simplest way to solve them is by exhaustive search. In other words, to try every possible solution one by one, until you get the answer.
For example, Singapore’s “Primary 5” Cheryl Birthday question can be solved easily by an exhaustive search over her 10 given dates.
Albert and Bernard just met Cheryl. “When’s your birthday?” Albert asked Cheryl.
Cheryl thought a second and said, “I’m not going to tell you, but I’ll give you some clues.” She wrote down a list of 10 dates:
May 15, May 16, May 19
June 17, June 18
July 14, July 16
August 14, August 15, August 17
“My birthday is one of these,” she said.
Then Cheryl whispered in Albert’s ear the month — and only the month — of her birthday. To Bernard, she whispered the day, and only the day.
“Can you figure it out now?” she asked Albert.
Albert: I don’t know when your birthday is, but I know Bernard doesn’t know, either.
Bernard: I didn’t know originally, but now I do.
Albert: Well, now I know, too!
When is Cheryl’s birthday?
The trouble with many humans is that the moment they realize a problem is hard, they give up even before trying.
Thomas Edison said he didn’t fail a thousand times. He just found one thousand methods that didn’t work.
So when God gives you a challenge, it is to make you stronger.
