Ironically, the algorithm you pose in that comment itself, is a BS algorithm in it of itself.

"Formulate the problem as X" - what is your input for how a problem is formulated? That you personally like how it was formulated?

"Probably," - OK, so you assign probability scores? Or do you mean, "likelihood based upon my guess?"

Finally, how do you measure performance? Your own assessment of how good you were at it?
