Walking and chewing gum are quite rhythmic and
repetitive. I don't have to think to chew gum.

Have you tried solving two different problems at
the same time? Can you solve two problems at the
same time? When you are reading can you solve
a problem at the same time, with out swapping.

Just think of case scenarios can you traverse two
branches at the same time. I cannot.

I can ignore a part of a problem and give it
a place holder.
