In my long but limited experience (all experience is limited!) usually
the problem isn't in explaining the problem, or in even solving the
problem, it's in grasping what it *really* is in the first place.
Especially so when it is explained to you by someone who doesn't
understand the problem -- or solution -- domain... see most Gov.
projects worldwide.
However explaining things to teddy bears, cats, and hat stands is an
essential part of problem stress relief :) It does not work so well with
dogs, they wag their tails whether it's explained well or badly :P

explain it well. Sometimes the process of explaining makes you find the
thing the clue you have missed.
I cant put my finger on where it came from (does it matter). Google is
taking me to all sorts of sites like "how to make teddies" and "why teddies
are called ted".
Other people have already sent good links or comments. Just one more:
