My mind has been turning around item seven in this list for the past week. I think it's fundamentally correct. I mean, I tend to use this approach, and it works for solving a lot of problems. The problem I've had is that the problems I solve with this are typically small scale. If I could identify more fundamental, larger scale problems, I'd have a better shot of coming up with actual genius stuff. My answers are fine, I just need better questions.

So I think I'm going to ruminate on identifying what are the big problems in quiz bowl. More may follow on this, we'll see how it goes.
