Of course I have learned that Sir. I gave the correct answer since there weren't much replies to the original post and I did it almost after 4-5 hours. 
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

There is no such thing as a 'bad solution'. If its bad then its not a solution at all.

Not really: If you are asked to prepare a solution of Na and Cl, but you prepare a solution of K and Cl.
It's still a solution, but a bad one with respect to what you are asked.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

That's not 100% true:
You can solve a specific problem in a functional way, therefore what you've done is a solution, but, that solution probably can be implemented in a better way which would cover more cases...
If you think of a motor that must go to a specific position, you need to know where the motor is (encoder or any other way to know the feedback position), you need to control the speed of the motor...
You can create a simple program that moves the motor to a specific position at a slow speed to ensure that the motor will reach that position (hence a solution).
Or you can create a PID algorithm that will handle the speed depending on the Proportional, Integral and Derivative part of the calculus to get an acceleration and deceleration ramp, and a better result in terms of precision and speed.
First is a solution (a bad one but it makes the job).
Second is a good solution, the best if you know masses and inertias of the complete system.
Then there would be the third solution which includes fuzzy logic and it only "should" be used when the inertia and masses are unknown.
So indeed there are good and bad solutions to different problems...
Anyway I prefer and try always to apply the best option available (that depends of course of the knowledge of that solution (knowing it exists help a lot) and the available time to implement it).

Solution - something that is used or done to deal with and end a problem.
If it deals with the problem or ends it then how can be bad?

It could not cover all the cases, it could not solve the issue in the best way, it could be implemented in a poor way...
Therefore it is clear that solves the issue (hence a solution) but it is not doing it the proper way (hence bad).
You could solve world's hunger by killing everyone that can't afford eating at an expensive restaurant everyday.
It is of course a solution but not a good one (at least IMHO).

Nah, just whack it across at full speed, that should do the job...

Well...I disagree.
Something can solve the problem as posed, but be a very poor way to do it.
For example in C#, you could either use an event and properties to transfer information between two forms. Or you could make the controls on one form public so the other can access them directly. The second method works...but it's a very poor solution.
Or you could use a string field in SQL to store dates. It works...until you need to compare them. That's when you find out it's a bad solution!

Have you been at the Nietzsche books again?
You know they are bad for you, without killing you, you know.
