Sometimes when I'm stuck on the puzzles, I leave the game for a few days then come back and solve it within 5 minutes. Did the same thing solving javascript bugs sometimes.

There is a similar phenomenon at work with the Witness too. I've heard it attributed to the fact that the brain continues expending energy on unsolved problems even subconciously. Not sure if that's true or not.

Either that, or our next try is simply with a fresher more energized brain.
