What can you do if you can’t solve a math problem?
My advices are:
1. Read the problem word by word for several times until you really understand it.
2. Draw a diagram or a precise geometric figure. It will help you find out the relationship between the variations.
3. Change the numbers in the problem into some smaller ones. By considering those initial cases, try to find some patterns and inspiration. Finally, expand what you find.
4. List all the tactics or knowledge you learned which might help. Try them one by one.
