"Solve it yourself" vs "ask for help" has trade-offs.
I think a lot of smarter people usually try to solve things themselves, and that's why they're smart. But there's always some problems where you just happen to be attacking from a dumb angle, and it's more important to solve it quickly than to figure out how to solve it.
