Impressive, but not the first time. In #3064 willdeans posted a
detailed answer to his own question.

It has happened before that, too, and I also remember it happening at
Google Answers. I think the act of writing out the question helps
people to clarify the problem in their own mind and often leads to an
answer.

Very astute! Precisely! Several times, I have puzzled with a
problem, and then when I started to explain it to someone else, the
answer/solution came to me. Sloppy thinking, that I didn't really
define the problem in my own mind first.
As a woman in a daily cartoon named "The Girls (all golden aged) said
- decades ago -
"How do know what I think, until I have heard what I have to say."
Anyone else marry her or one of her ilk?

"How do I know what I think until I see what I say?" is a quote
attributed to English novelist E.M. Forster (1879 - 1970). I think a
lot of people have borrowed it with slight variations.
