I couldn't agree more. I had been having the same problem for awhile. I
think the best advice is what Dennis said below. Just don't get caught up
on the same thing multiple times. If you get stuck for so long that you
have to go to the solutions, make a note of the topic and spend some time
going through the solution and making sure you understand why things are
that way. Eventually that is one more topic that you understand ;)
