problem solving

Today's problem was HARD. 

What emotions did you feel while struggling with this problem? How did you feel when you completed it? What problem solving techniques did you use? If you helped others, how did you guide them without giving them the answers? What other areas of your life (job, relationships, other classes, etc) give you tough problems, and how are they similar and different?

I just felt determined to figure out how to solve the problem and when I completed it I felt relieved. My technique was I asked other students to see if I can learn any new knowledge and solve the problem I had in the code. When I am having trouble in my college class it is usually behind on homework and instead of video games after school, I cram homework.
