A problem is either solvable, not solvable, or a fields medal candidate. We
can safely ignore the last possibility here I think. If you ask me a
problem/puzzle to find a solution to, and if I trust that you are not
leading me to a wild goose chase, it means it's given that it *is* solvable.
If I don't trust you, no amount of reiterating that it's solvable will
convince me ( "if ((((x=true)=true)=true..." syndrome ).
