The Department of Problem-Solving was a department of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Cupid Intelligence Institute. Headed by Prefect Pythagoras-858, it was tasked with finding practical solutions to problems of various sorts which other Departments of the Crew faced.
History
Origins
The Department of Problem-Solving was founded around two decades prior to the Lord Thymon affair. Pythagoras-858 was awarded headship of the newly-formed department after a particular demonstration of common sense, where he had advocated the use of forbidium manacles on targets resistant to romanticisation. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
At some point, the Supreme Quaestor awarded them the use of five laboratories, of which the biggest was Lab 5. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
The Lord Thymon affair
In 2019, the Department of Impossible Things shuffled off the assignment of dealing with Lord Thymon to the Department of Problem-Solving. Pythagoras-858 left his Problem-Solvers — including Valerius-1497, Juliet-178, Carter-1277 and Edwin-750 — to develop solutions. When Pythe returned to Lab 5, the Problem-Solvers, following an idea developed by Valerius had filled it with clocks, with the intent to summon Thymon, only for him to be frozen due to the short supply of time energy that would result.
Deeming the idea mad enough to have some chances of working on a conceptual entity like Thymon, Pythe allowed them to go forwards, threatening to detonate a Reality Bomb to lure Thymon to the Cupid Homeworld. After he was indeed summoned, Juliet ended up taking it upon herself to simply hit him with a Cupid Arrow, romanticising him and solving the issue decisively.

Later developments
The whole Department of Problem-Solving reminisced about some of their past cases together at the Christmas party organised in 2021 in the Cupid Homeworld by CS-NA. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
