  • Answering "what do you know?" is all about separating information from noise. I've used a lot of words in stating this problem; the first trick to solving it is deciding what is useful information, and what is (you'll forgive the expression) garbage.

    Time for you to do something. Go ahead. Do it. No one's looking. Make a list of what you think are the important pieces of information. When you're done, compare my sample list with yours.

    It doesn't matter if your list is a little different. What matters is that you prune away all the irrelevant nonsense, that you see what is important in the problem.
