The governing criteria are that you have to clarify the question, and you must have previously studied the material that will allow you to formulate an answer. Your brain's good, but it's not likely going to conjure up the derivation of the Schröedinger wave equation if you've never seen it before.

But what if the knowledge exists in a superpositioned state, a la Schrodinger's Cat?

"Your brain's good, but it's not likely going to conjure up the derivation of the Schröedinger wave equation if you've never seen it before."

Not entirely true. I loaded up my subconcious with such requests, and by morning, I had a correlated output for the Schröedinger wave equation.

Okay, it was a hairball, but I could tell I was on the right track.
