Pardon that this is strictly speaking not a question about physics but about a quote about physics, but I'm not sure where else to turn to.

A while back I read a quote by Feynman in which he says something to the effect that the more different ways one can solve a physics problem the more deeply one understands it.

Unfortunately, I don't remember where I read this. I spent significant amount of time googling as well as looking through my Feynman lectures but could not locate it.

Does anyone know where to find the quote?

Thanks

Try the Nobel Lecture (link below) . Search for "fundamental laws of physics". nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1965/… – Art Brown Sep 13 '12 at 17:36
Hi arminrph, and welcome to Physics Stack Exchange! As you suspected, I don't think this is on topic for us; exact quotes are generally of no importance in physics. – David Zaslavsky♦ Sep 13 '12 at 17:41
