Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The representation problem refers to how the problem is framed, and in the case of the hiking monk problem, it can impact the difficulty of solving it. Functional fixedness refers to being stuck in a particular way of thinking or using an object, and while it could potentially impact the solution, it is not the primary issue with this problem. Algorithms and heuristics are problem-solving strategies, but they are not directly related to the difficulty of setting up the problem.
