To solve such problems ask yourself: "If I had solved the n-1 case could I solve the n case?" If the answer to this question is positive you proceed under the outrageous assumption that the n-1 case has been solved. Oddly enough this often works, so long as there is some base case (often when n is zero or one) which can be treated as a special case.
