When you aren't thinking about it, suddenly the answer arrives as a gift from the gods. (Para. 1)
Meaning: When you are no longer thinking of the problem, then the answer to it comes to your mind unexpectedly as if something falls upon you from heavenly spirits.
a gift from the gods: an unearned, or unexpected, benefit that is greatly valued
People say that all the years after 70 are gifts from the gods.
