 1. Think about the larger solution as a whole, but as a series of steps that you would write out for a petulant child to follow
 1. Write out the solution in plain English, breaking it down into as many tiny steps as possible.  Remember, this child doesn't want to do the task.  If there's any ambiguity, you're sunk
 1. Create a flow chart (decision tree)
