"Trial and error" is a problem solving and investigative learning technique.

Once a problem or question is identified, you come up with various different alternative answers and solutions, trying them one by one, and seeing if the outcome is the desired result (or a logical working answer) or an error. If it's an error, you try another answer or solution, repeating this process until you find something that works.

Trying to unlock a lock in the dark with a ring of unfamiliar keys is a process of trial and error... You just keep trying keys, one at a time, until you find one that works.

That can be figured out quickly by trial and error. Since I assume you want an integer, the answer is either 21 or 22 (that is, both work).That can be figured out quickly by trial and error.
