There are several strategies to solve Optimal Stopping problems. One common method is the '37% Rule', also known as the 'Secretary Problem'. This rule suggests that you should review 37% of the options and then pick the next one that is better than all the previous ones. Another strategy is the 'Odds Algorithm', which adjusts the stopping point based on the odds of finding a better option. Dynamic programming is also a common method used to solve these problems, where the problem is broken down into simpler sub-problems in a recursive manner.
