Abstract
The paper contributes to the methodology of problem solving in physics. We argue that the task of solving a problem does not end by obtaining the resu lt. We claim that a question like 'Why the result came out as it did?' can be meaningfully posed and that deeper under standing of the subject comes o ut as a result of a discussion on possible answers to such a question.
