+Knowing when to "give up" on a problem and start reading the problem's editorial
+is challenging. Below are the opinions of various individuals.

+Note that "give up" is in quotes, because one still learns when they "give up"
+and read an editorial!

+> read problem editorials some time after thinking "i have no clue what i'm doing please send help" and before "if i stare at this problem for one minute longer i'm going to punch a hole in my computer", figure out the exact time yourself

+
+My personal opinion is that it is okay to give up early when solving CP problems.
+Sometimes I spend as little as 15-20 minutes on a problem before reading the editorial
+or at least glancing at solution code. Other times I may spend significantly longer.
+
+CP editorials generally aren't the best (with the exception of USACO editorials,
+which are pretty good) so I often spend a lot of time trying to understand the
+solution even after "giving up" and reading the editorial. I think it's good
+enough to implement the code without having the editorial open.
+
+My justification for why I think it's okay to give up so early is as follows:
+
+- Getting frustrated and quitting CP for a week is worse than giving up
+  - Whenever I feel like I'm really frustrated with a problem, I read the editorial
+- CP editorials are usually difficult to understand, so you will still have
+  to spend a lot of time reading and understanding them
+- You learn a _lot_ by reading editorials
+- If you can solve a problem without reading the editorial, that means you
+  probably could have solved the problem in-contest too, so you didn't actually
+  learn that much. However, if you didn't know how to solve a problem and
+  you read the editorial so now you do, then you've learned a lot more.
+  - In other words, reading editorials is a _good_ thing, not a bad thing!
+
+Overall, I would just say to "give up" when you feel like giving up, whether that's
+in five hours or in 15 minutes :)
