An unsolvable problem in personal life is not a problem, but rather a condition. It is an experience that a person must spend time learning how to work with/through/around or how to accommodate.
If the challenge is something work related (i.e. I do a lot of math) then I timebox it. My journal, status report, and other docs will read upon failure: "I spent X hours reviewing Y problem. I assessed A, B, and C. Their shortcomings were Yada Yada Yada."
If the challenge is relationship related, it's dicier. More information would be needed.
