I think a good way to overcome your dead end of thought is not to ask questions first but to think about what the problem really is about.

I am doing this by drawing pages full of diagrams and stuff that helps me sorting things out or as already mentioned by other fellow monks discussing the issue with a colleque.

I get the most helpful thing from people who have nothing to do with programming or even computers at all! By trying to verbalize the problem you will straighten out your thoughts and you will be able to think more clearly. Another attempt could be writing down what you want, things that are given by the problem itself and then the part you want to solve. -> Then you will again have to state the exact problem you have to solve. Bingo!

I hope this has given some useful ideas to you!

Yours,

C-Keen
