Didn't watch the ep yet, but hummed the theme to myself and figured there was about a 90% chance I wouldn't have gotten it.

I've started playing the theme song in my head and it's been so beneficial. Previously I'd just not get it initially and give up. Now that I play the whole song, I give myself time to come up with the answer.
