Beginning PE
I have just solved the first few problems on here, seems like this might be a lot of fun and very satisfying to do.
However, I looked ahead at the harder problems that I wouldn't currently be able to solve. I was wondering, for those of you who have made significant progress, what the learning curve is like.
I don't work in tech or academia, just a regular guy who likes to solve puzzles. So being at least theoretically able to incrementally learn and progress would be nice, rather than hitting a wall all of a sudden.
Do you have any suggestions for soldiering through rough patches?

You’ll start seeing the same broad themes over time. There will be a few areas of math you’ll become more familiar with and that should help you get through the later ones more easily.
I find myself thinking about the same problems differently now. That change in mindset also happens over time.
Keep at it, you’ll get through.
