Problem solving: Method: Analogy: What is the 'Generate and test 
method' method?
---
The 'Generate and test' problem solving method is a special case of the
brute force searching method to possibly find a solution.
---
That is, you simply generate all possible solutions, test if it is a
solution, and if not you repeat.
---
Thus the problem solver generates a list of alternative ways of action,
not necessarily in systematic way, and then notices in turn whether
each course of action will work
