Tracing Quotations

I Would Spend 55 Minutes Defining the Problem and then Five Minutes Solving It

Albert Einstein? A Yale Professor? Apocryphal?

quote on problem solving

If I had only one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only five minutes finding the solution. If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions. Given one hour to save the planet, I would spend 59 minutes understanding the problem and one minute resolving it.

Because there are so many different variations I do not have much confidence that this was actually said by the acclaimed genius. Would you please explore this expression?

Quote Investigator: There is no substantive evidence that Einstein ever made a remark of this type. It is not listed in the comprehensive collection “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein” from Princeton University Press. [1] 2010, The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, Edited by Alice Calaprice, Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey. (Examined on paper)

The earliest relevant evidence located by QI appeared in a 1966 collection of articles about manufacturing. An employee of the Stainless Processing Company named William H. Markle wrote a piece titled “The Manufacturing Manager’s Skills” which included a strong match for the saying under investigation. However, the words were credited to an unnamed professor at Yale University and not to Einstein. Also, the hour was split into 40 vs. 20 minutes instead of 55 vs. 5 minutes. Boldface has been added to excerpts: [2] 1966, The Manufacturing Man and His Job by Robert E. Finley and Henry R. Ziobro, “The Manufacturing Manager’s Skills” by William H. Markle (Vice President, Stainless Processing … Continue reading

Some years ago the head of the Industrial Engineering Department of Yale University said, “If I had only one hour to solve a problem, I would spend up to two-thirds of that hour in attempting to define what the problem is.”

Albert Einstein died in 1955, and by 1973 a version of the saying had been assigned to him in an article in the journal “Invention Intelligence” based in New Delhi, India. Interestingly, the hour was split into three parts instead of two. No supporting data for the attribution was given: [3] 1973 August, Invention Intelligence, Volume 8, Number 8, Can I Learn to Invent? by A. M. Elijah (Director, Institute of Creative Development, Poona-1), Start Page 294, Quote Page 297, Issued by the … Continue reading

Often the problem as given is misleading, and you have to work through a mass of data to define the real problem. Often this step consumes more time than deriving the solution. Einstein said: “If I were given an hour in which to do a problem upon which my life depended, I would spend 40 minutes studying it, 15 minutes reviewing it and 5 minutes solving it.”

Here are additional selected citations in chronological order.

In 1986 an instance of the saying was attributed to Einstein in a paper published in the conference proceedings of the International Association of Quality Circles. The hour was split into two parts. The phrase “Einstein is reported to have said” suggested that the author did not have much confidence in the ascription: [4] 1986, Educational Transactions of the 8th Annual IAQC Spring Conference, “Creatively Managing Your Mind” by Robert J. Greene (IBM Corporation), Start Page 62, Quote Page 68, Published by … Continue reading

Einstein is reported to have said that if he only had one hour to solve a problem he would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and the remaining 5 minutes solving it routinely.

In 1989 “The Practical Guide to Joint Ventures and Corporate Alliances” was published, and the author presented an instance attributed to Einstein. This version once again split the hour into three parts: [5] 1989, The Practical Guide to Joint Ventures and Corporate alliances by Robert Porter Lynch, Chapter 13: Problems and Pitfalls in Strategy and Structure, Quote Page 225 and 226, John Wiley & Sons, … Continue reading

Albert Einstein was once asked how he would spend his time if he was given a problem upon which his life depended and he had only one hour to solve it. He responded by saying he would spend 30 minutes analyzing the problem, 20 minutes planning the solution, and ten minutes executing the solution. For those overly prone to jumping into action, a bit more planning would be worthwhile.

Skilled researchers Jesse Mazer and Barry Popik have also examined this saying and some of their findings have been incorporated in the next section. [6] Website: Wikiquote: Discussion Page, Webpage Title: Talk: Albert Einstein, Discussion topic: If I had only one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only … Continue reading [7] Website: The Big Apple, Article title: “If I had an hour to solve a problem, I would spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem”, Date on website: May 06, 2014, Website description: Etymological … Continue reading

In 1995 the book “Creative Problem Solving and Opportunity Finding” printed an instance of the expression in which Einstein was called upon to save the world: [8] 1995, Creative Problem Solving and Opportunity Finding by J. Daniel Couger, Chapter 6, Quote Page 178, Boyd & Fraser Publishing Company, Danvers, Massachusetts, A division of International … Continue reading

Dewey believed that a problem well stated was half solved. Albert Einstein was even more emphatic about the importance of the definition of the problem. He was once asked: “If you have one hour to save the world, how would you spend that hour?” He replied, “I would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and then five minutes solving it.”

In March 1995 “The Orange County Register” newspaper of California printed the remarks of a management professor at McMasters University in Ontario who credited Einstein with an instance of the saying: [9] 1995 March 19, The Orange County Register, Section: Business, “BUSINESS FIND A NEW TOOL: CREATIVITY – STRATEGIES: More companies are encouraging creative thinking in order to remain … Continue reading

While brainstorming and problem solving are important, it’s equally critical to pinpoint the exact problem, Basadur said. “When Einstein was asked how he would save the world in one hour, he said he’d spend 55 minutes defining the problem and five minutes solving it,” Basadur said.

A 2012 book about the talents needed by workers in the robotic age presented a dramatic scenario for the time limit and suggested that Einstein delivered his remarks during an interview: [10] 2012, Metaskills: Five Talents for the Robotic Age by Marty Neumeier, Unnumbered page, Published by New Riders, an imprint of Peachpit, a division of Pearson Education. (Google Books Preview)

In another interview he said that if he knew a fiery comet was certain to destroy the earth in an hour , and it was his job to head it off, he would spend the first fifty-five minutes defining the problem and the last five minutes solving it.

An interesting analogous statement has been spuriously attributed to another eminent person. The following remark about preparing to perform a task is usually assigned to Abraham Lincoln. An examination of its provenance is available by following this link :

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

In conclusion, currently there is no known substantive support for the claim that Albert Einstein made one of these remarks. The earliest evidence points to an unknown academic at Yale University who may have made the statement given in the 1966 citation. The popular expression has been evolving for decades leading to a creative efflorescence of inaccuracies.

(Myriad thanks to John McChesney-Young for obtaining scans of the important 1973 citation. Great thanks to Don MacDonald and the librarians of the Harvard Business School for obtaining scans of the key 1986 citation. Many thanks to Barry Popik whose previous research and query led QI to formulate this question and perform this exploration. Special thanks to Jesse Mazer for his valuable work tracing Einstein attributions at Wikiquote.)

Update History: On June 20, 2014 the 1973 citation was moved from the appendix into the main body of the article. This movement occurred after the citation had been verified with scans.

6. Jayson Engay: “Don’t complain if you’re facing hard moments in life. Challenge yourself to face it, challenge yourself to beat it.”

Turn your problems into possibilities

8. Roy T. Bennett: “Turn your obstacles into opportunities and your problems into possibilities.”

  • This quote encourages a shift in perspective. Instead of viewing obstacles and problems as barriers, consider them as chances for growth and transformation. By changing your mindset, you can discover opportunities within difficulties and turn problems into potential pathways to success.

9. Roy Bennett: “Every challenge, every adversity, contains within it the seeds of opportunity and growth.”

  • This quote means that in every difficult situation, there’s a chance for something good to come out of it. Challenges are like seeds that, when nurtured and faced bravely, can grow into opportunities for learning and becoming stronger.

Have the courage & strength to find the solution

10. Seneca: “The important thing about a problem is not the solution, but the strength we gain in finding a solution.”

  • This quote highlights that the process of solving a problem is valuable. While finding a solution is essential, the real importance lies in the strength, knowledge, and confidence gained through the journey of solving the problem. It emphasizes the personal growth and resilience developed during problem-solving.

11. Amit Kalantri: “It is a courage which can find the solution to every problem.”

  • This quote emphasizes that courage is essential when facing problems. Having the bravery to confront difficulties head-on enables us to search for solutions and overcome challenges effectively. It highlights the role of courage in problem-solving.

Your emotion is the main problem

12. Nouman Ali Khan : “If someone corrects you, and you feel offended, then you have an ego problem.”

  • This quote points out that sometimes our emotions, especially our ego, can become a barrier to solving problems. If we feel offended when corrected, it suggests that our ego might be preventing us from acknowledging and resolving issues. It encourages self-reflection and humility in addressing problems.

Your attitude defines the problem

13. Captain Jack Sparrow: “The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem.”

  • This quote implies that how we perceive and approach a problem matters more than the problem itself. It emphasizes that our attitude towards a problem influences our ability to solve it. Having a positive and constructive attitude can make the problem seem less daunting and easier to handle.

Change your thinking

Inspiring quotes to help you to change your negative thoughts into positive ones to face the problems of your life.

14. Albert Einstein : “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.”

  • This quote suggests that if we want to solve problems, we need to change our way of thinking. If the thinking or approach that caused the problem remains unchanged, finding a solution becomes difficult. It emphasizes the importance of innovative and different perspectives in problem-solving.

15. Eckhart Tolle: “All problems are illusions of the mind.”

  • This quote suggests that sometimes our perception of a problem might be exaggerated or not entirely accurate. It implies that our minds might create problems that don’t actually exist or blow them out of proportion. It encourages introspection and mindfulness to see through these illusions and find clarity in problem-solving.

16. Auliq Ice: “Be open about your thoughts, ideas, and desires and you will be right with your decisions.”

  • This quote emphasizes the importance of open communication and honesty with oneself. By being transparent about thoughts, ideas, and desires, one can make better decisions. It suggests that clarity in one’s thoughts and desires leads to better problem-solving and decision-making.

Never lose hope

17. Roy T. Bennett: “Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.”

  • This quote encourages us to remain hopeful, even in tough times. Just like storms come and go, difficult situations don’t last forever. They might make us stronger and more resilient if we keep hope alive and face them bravely.

Work with a different perspective

18. Katherine Russell: “Every problem has a solution; it may sometimes just need another perspective.”

  • This quote suggests that every problem can be solved, but sometimes we need to look at it from a different angle. Changing the way we see a problem might reveal new solutions or ideas that were not apparent from our usual viewpoint.

Make the preparation for solving the problem

19. Albert Einstein: “If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”

  • This quote highlights the importance of understanding a problem deeply before attempting to solve it. Spending more time analyzing and understanding the problem allows for better, more effective solutions to emerge.

20. Dalai Lama XIV: “If there is no solution to the problem then don’t waste time worrying about it. If there is a solution to the problem then don’t waste time worrying about it.”

  • This quote advises against unnecessary worry. If there’s no solution to a problem, worrying won’t change that fact. And if there is a solution, worrying is an unproductive use of time since it can be better spent finding and implementing the solution.

21. Emily Uraih: “There are only two ways to solve a problem: stop dwelling, and start doing.”

  • This quote suggests that dwelling on a problem without taking action doesn’t lead to solutions. The two effective ways to solve a problem are to stop overthinking or dwelling on it and instead, take action and start working towards finding a solution.

Define the problem properly

22. John Dewey: “A problem properly stated is half solved.”

  • This quote emphasizes the importance of defining a problem accurately. When you understand a problem well and define it clearly, you’re already halfway towards finding a solution. Clarity in problem definition is key to effective problem-solving.

Best leaders solve a problem in a better way

23. Israelmore Ayivor: “People who have deliberately decided to become problems solver lead better.”

  • This quote highlights the positive impact of being a problem solver. Those who consciously choose to solve problems tend to lead better lives. It emphasizes the value of problem-solving skills in personal growth and leadership.

Work according to problem

24. Joe Mari Fadrigalan: “Sometimes, the best way of solving a problem is by letting it unsolved.”

  • This quote suggests that not all problems need immediate solutions. Sometimes, letting a problem be without forcing a solution can lead to better outcomes. It’s about knowing when to intervene and when to allow time for natural resolution.

15 Quotes on Problem Solving from Inspirational Leaders

Posted on August 9, 2014 by Yvonne I. Wilson in Quotes // 2 Comments

quote on problem solving

Everywhere we turn these days there are problems. It seems like we don’t have to go further than our living rooms to realize that. At the push of a button, the overwhelming, and often times glaring images and sounds are right there and it’s just hard for anyone to ignore.

The problems are getting more complicated by the minute. The strategies that were used to solve them yesterday, seems amateur when measured against the problems themselves and what it’s really going to take to get them solved today.

In the midst of it all, I would still say there is hope. And today we can be encouraged and inspired by words of wisdom from great men who no doubt have had problems and challenges of their own and who have recorded their mark in history of how to approach the problems without losing courage.

1.) “When a problem comes along, study it until you are completely knowledgeable. Then find out that weak spot, break the problem apart, and the rest will be easy.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

2.) “How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself – so always think positively.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

3.) “A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them.”  ~ John C. Maxwell

4.) “A leader lives with people to know their problems. A leader lives with God in order to solve them.” ~ John C. Maxwell

5.) “In fact, it is only through the New Testament that we can learn just what Christian faith is…Open your Bible at any page you like, there is nothing about solving religious problems. Bible testifies that God exists and that He revealed Himself through Jesus Christ. It shows too that the man who lives without God is not living right.” ~ Wilhelm Busch

6.) “Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” ~ John F. Kennedy

7.) “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” ~ Philippians 4:13 New King James Version [NKJV]

8.) “The way to solve the problems in your life is to open your heart to others and to think differently. This has better result and brings more peace and happiness in your life, especially ultimate happiness that you will experience forever and that you can give to everyone who is suffering and to everyone who needs your help.” ~ Lama Zopa Rinpoche

9.) “No problem is insurmountable. With a little courage, teamwork and determination a person can overcome anything.’ ~ B. Dodge

10.) “One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.” ~ Arnold Glasgow

11.) The bottom line is that if you become a master at handling problems and overcoming obstacles, what can stop you from success? The answer is nothing! And if nothing can stop you, you become unstoppable! ~ T. Hary Eker

12.) “The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities, We need men who can dream of things that never were.” ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy

13.) “Through money or power you cannot solve all problems. The problem in the human heart must be solved first.” ~ Dalai Lama

14.) “We shall find the answer when we examine the problem, the problem is never apart from the answer. The problem IS the answer, understanding the problem dissolves the problem.” ~ Bruce Lee

15.)”Have you got a problem? Do what you can where you are with what you’ve got.” ~ Theodore Rooesvelt

Hopefully you have enjoyed these quotes enough to share this post with someone else so that they too can be inspired and encouraged through their own difficult circumstances today.

As always, I would love to hear from you.

Which quote inspired you the most? Do you think today’s problems are more man-made or simply, bible prophesy being fulfilled in our times?

quote on problem solving

Nikola Jokic goes full Joker while solving Nuggets’ Timberwolves problem

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic struggled against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The Wolves’ rotation of big men particularly made life hard for him, with Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid all contributing to slow him down.

Obviously, the Timberwolves’ size is something the Jokic and the Nuggets will have to solve when they meet again in Game 2. If not, it could be problematic for them amid their bid to defend their title. Denver lost Game 1 , 106-99, with the Joker finishing with 32 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and three steals.

While those numbers look typical for Jokic on the surface, a deeper look suggests otherwise. He actually shot 11-of-25 from the field and had seven turnovers, which is pretty uncharacteristic for him. The Nuggets superstar tallied a plus-minus rating of -12, numbers that should raise some concerns since Jokic has always been the most efficient player in the league.

Speaking to reporters postgame, Jokic was naturally asked about the Nuggets’ problem handling the Timberwolves’ big men. It doesn’t look like he’s too worried, though, as he lived up to his Joker nickname and hilariously shared the only solution he could think of–albeit impossible.

“I can duplicate two of myself , and then I can be fresh. When they sub another guy, I can sub too,” Jokic shared.

Obviously, Jokic can’t duplicate himself–no matter how hard the Nuggets wish for it. With that being said, the Nuggets cannot be too reliant on him to keep carrying the team.

Both Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. scored in double digits in the game, but with the Timberwolves trying to prevent Nikola Jokic from getting good looks, they have to be more aggressive offensively. Both players took less than 27 shots combined and made 12 in total–that’s almost as much as Jokic’s numbers!

Aaron Gordon needs to find his rhythm as well after scoring just nine points and struggling defensively. He had the worst plus-minus rating on the team at -23, with Anthony Edwards consistently punishing him whenever the Nuggets were on defense.

Nikola Jokic’s stern message to Nuggets

All jokes aside, Jokic made sure to emphasize one thing: he’s not happy about losing.

When talking about their Game 1 loss, the Serbian center told reporters that losing “doesn’t motivate” him . No one wants to lose, obviously. However, it is a strong statement from Jokic and a blunt message for the rest of the team.

The Timberwolves won’t be easy opponents. They are battle-tested and don’t easily collapse unlike the Los Angeles Lakers. With that being said, hopes are high that the Game 1 loss will serve as a wake-up call for them. They already lost the homecourt advantage, and they can’t allow Anthony Edwards and Minnesota to continue their dominance before taking the series to their own turf.

“We need to do a better job of making them make tough shots, maybe make the extra pass,” Jokic added on what the Nuggets need to do in order to bounce back, per NBA.com.

For Nuggets coach Michael Malone, he’s seeking for more discipline from his players.

“Naz Reid got going. Karl-Anthony Towns got going. Mike Conley got going–where Anthony Edwards carried the day in that first half. But the second half I just felt not nearly enough discipline and physicality and they were able to get whatever they wanted,” Malone said.

Game 2 of the Nuggets-Timberwolves series is scheduled for Monday. By then, everyone will get to see if Denver has learned their Game 1 lessons.

quote on problem solving

For every problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong.

Beware of people preaching simple solutions to complex problems. If the answer was easy someone more intelligent would have thought of it a long time ago - complex problems invariably require complex and difficult solutions.

When the solution is simple, God is answering.

People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.

Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them.

Even the most complex problem is resolved in the end. Because if there's a question, there also is an answer.

People think there's a single solution to complex problems, and the solution is often making an enemy of a group of people - pulling back and rejecting the other.

quote on problem solving

All experience has taught us that solving a complex problem uncovers hidden assumptions and ever more knowledge, trade-offs that we didn't anticipate but which can make the difference between meeting a deadline and going into research mode for a year, etc.

There is always an easy solution to every problem - neat, plausible, and wrong.

There is always a well-known solution to every human problem - neat, plausible, and wrong.

Diverse groups of problem solvers outperformed the groups of the best individuals at solving complex problems. The reason: the diverse groups got stuck less often than the smart individuals, who tended to think similarly.

Well, take it from an old hand: the only reason it would be easier to program in C is that you can't easily express complex problems in C, so you don't.

Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.

The drive toward complex technical achievement offers a clue to why the U.S. is good at space gadgetry and bad at slum problems.

Occupying my mind with complex problems has been my best and most powerful and most reliable defense against my mental illness.

Our goal is to try to bring a calm and simplicity to what are incredibly complex problems so that you're not aware really of the solution.

The deep paradox uncovered by AI research: the only way to deal efficiently with very complex problems is to move away from pure logic.... Most of the time, reaching the right decision requires little reasoning.... Expert systems are, thus, not about reasoning: they are about knowing.... Reasoning takes time, so we try to do it as seldom as possible. Instead we store the results of our reasoning for later reference.

Our science is like a store filled with the most subtle intellectual devices for solving the most complex problems, and yet we are almost incapable of applying the elementary principles of rational thought.

It should be clear by now that a nation can be no stronger abroad than she is at home. Only an America which practices what it preaches about equal rights and social justice will be respected by those whose choice affects our future. Only an America which has fully educated its citizens is fully capable of tackling the complex problems and perceiving the hidden dangers of the world in which we live. And only an America which is growing and prospering economically can sustain the worldwide defenses of freedom, while demonstrating to all concerned the opportunities of our system and society.

As an expert, I can deal with complex problems. As a mother it is much, much harder.

It is absurd to imagine that any child will be able to earn a living, let alone contribute to resolving our world's complex problems, without knowing how to read and write. My foundation supports the National Writing Project so that teachers can be more effective in their efforts to improve literacy for all students.

Not all complex problems have easy solutions; so says science (so warns science.)

Pat answers to complex problems are the hallmark of intellectual mediocrity

I'd be wary of simple solutions to complex problems.
