I think this is correct.
It's perplexing: This seems like a logic problem, and I expect to make progress on logic problems using logic. I would expect reading an explanation to be more helpful than having my subconscious mull over a logic problem. But instead, the first time I read it, I couldn't understand it properly because I was not framing the problem properly. Only after I suddenly understood the problem better, without consciously thinking about it, was I able to go back, re-read this, and understand it.
