Was that because your mind was working on it in the background, or because a reset in state allowed the next attempt to find new paths?

I wonder if it would be possible to make a study to someone distinguish between those, like where the control group gets REM sleep and the experimental group gets some kind of anesthesia. Is there a difference on how well each group does "returning" to a puzzle, compared to working on a fresh one?

Server reset is at 4am and that's when your action points reset. :D
