It has a funny double meaning: classically it has meant &quot;the problem is best solved by actively trying to solve it&quot; as opposed to thinking or planning up front. But some people seem to use it to mean almost the opposite now, which is - solve the problem by literally going for a walk (and whence thinking about it!)</p>
