10% of talent and 90% of hard work. No pain no gain💪🤓😎 That is the key formula.

I think anyone can do it , if not at that time ... then possibly after some time every1 is able to solve a problem [just need to try until its done]

30 % talent 50 % skill and 20% luck... general stats note that luck is in the interval [0 - 80]

It is useful when you have the talent but if you work hard you could also learn it

Problem solving for the most part is a skill which develops over time and experience, however, some can just see a problem for the first time and solve it ie... talent maybe or not... could be just a lucky guess. http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-talent-and-skill

the only think is to burn for it. you are very young and solve a problem... hey it is fun... you solve the next ones and before you are 12 years old, you spent 1000 hour on problem solving. now in school you are regarded as talent. but actually it was a hard training for years, that you regarded As playing

The biggest part of problem solving is taking knowledge that you already have and figuring out how to use it in other ways. As you learn more you'll get better and better at it.

In my humble opinion, not everyone can do that, some people's brain are just not suitable for it. It's kinda similar of asking "Can anyone write a good poem?" The answer is obviously not, not everyone can do problem solving. You need some talent. BUT, the huge but here is that you don't need a lot. It's more of a hard work than pure talent, although you need some talent eventually. As Thomas Edison said. "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration"

Both. Being affected by both nature and nurture, problem solving actually comes by itself, though slowly, as the brain develops. To quicken this growth, as it is way too small to really notice, you should try some mind puzzlers or brain teasers. Be sure it includes a logical conclusion, since logic and problem solving are tied together. I would say 93% of the time it is logic... The rest? Usage of knowledge. If you use what you know to extreme capabilities(without use of logic) then long word questions will pass by easily. There is obviously much more, but time is crucial, especially because it is powering the universe... No time, no universe... Quicker time, quicker universe...

Problem solving is a great quality, but it's depends on how much you want to solve and how much you tried. Nobody born with natural talent, you have to work hard to be a natural problem solver.
