Very general. It's a hard problem to make much headway on such a broad topic - starting with heuristics for a narrow range of problem solving might give good direction for how to think about the wider problem.

Got that one from proving things in combinatorics. :D

Incidentally, we will see what comes of Tricki, the mathematical problem-solving technique wiki - it goes fully live in a week or so.
