From experience, it comes down to luck, but in a sense luck = good preparation / pre-built components toolbox.
I can be 10x, even 100x when working on something I've already solved & have "big" set of components ready to plug in (with a little bit of tweaking). The more stuff you have, the "luckier" you are. It's also ability to spot patterns & good memory & being in a flow.
