Solutions to problems can 'hit' you at any time. Take Archimedes for example. He was asked to determine whether a crown that had been made for King Hiero II, was as pure as the gold that had been supplied to make it, or if some silver had been substitued. The only problem Archimedes had - was that he was not allowed to damaging the crown. While taking a bath, he niticed the water level changed as got in and out - and realized that this level change could be used to find the volume of the crown. The submerged crown will displace the same amount of water as its own volume. Dividing the mass of the crown by the volume of displaced water, gives the density of the crown. The density would be lower if cheaper metal were added. Archimedes was so xcited by his discovery, he apprently leapt from his bath, and ran naked through the streets to the palace, crying 'Eureka !' (Greek for 'I have found it'). The same test was conducted on the crown - successfully proving that silver had been mixed in with the gold.
