Yeah, my wording wasn't great, so your confusion with my post is my fault for not being clearer. I obviously can solve problems to some degree otherwise I wouldn't be able to even create the simple tools I've made to solve some problems in my work. What I guess I'm trying to say is that I don't solve them WELL or efficiently. I'll use a DS/algorithm that, sure, technically works and gets the job done but is by no means the most efficient way to do it. Someone who has the common problem-solving sense I lack would have solved the problem more efficiently, more quickly and with more attractive code. That's what I was aiming for.
