How can neutrino oscillation explain the solar neutrino problem?

Question:

Answer:
The solar neutrino problem was that we were only seeing a third as many neutrinos as we expected. It turns out the problem was that we could only detect electron neutrinos, and 2/3 of the neutrinos were 'oscillating' into other forms on the way to the Earth, and we couldn't detect them anymore.
