In this first portion of the lesson, they cover the \"Don't Solve\" strategy for DS -- which, as Jess points out, is one of the best math tips around! Remember: for DS problems, all you need to do is evaluate whether you <em>would <\/em>be able to arrive at the answer using the information provided in each statement; you don't need to waste time actually finding the answer!<\/p>\n<p>In order to illustrate the importance of this time-saving strategy, Rich and Jess walk you through two sample problems.
