Is this logical?
In Mathematics, the art of proposing a problem must be held of higher value than solving it.Georg Cantor
The value of a problem is not so much coming up with the answer, as in the ideas and attempted ideas it forces on the would-be solver.Israel Nathan Herstein
Imagination is more important than intelligence.Albert Einstein
