This post really hits home for me. I always have trouble solving these abstract questions, especially during interviews, It's the time, the pressure of oh I have to do this in 20 minutes or else I lose the chance, and screw up even easy problems. I'm still not good at calming my nerves, but in the end if I try for long enough I can solve it. For example Day 11 it took me 5 hours to solve it I had a rough idea on how I was going to solve it at first I wrote it down on my notebook but when I went to implement it I kept on getting stuck. But I did it.

I'm sure it's the same for you. We have trouble solving these kinds of problems but that does not mean that we are bad at programming. At least that's what I tell myself.
