  I don't think it works if you know they're difficult unsolved problems.

    For some it'll still work ... I hope :).

    I think having someone pick a problem for you (thereby removing the option of choice) also focuses the mind. It likely prevents you from doing a breadth-first search across the many problems, whereas a correct solution probably requires a depth-first approach.
