Appendix C: The Inverse Problem-Solving Method

Chapter 2: Inversion of the Ordinary

In this section, we'll explore the art of turning the usual problem-solving process on its head. Instead of finding solutions, we'll be looking for the problems themselves.

This is where things get really interesting. By turning the tables, we can uncover the underlying issues that make the problem solvable in the first place.

The Inverse Problem-Solving Method

Step 1: Identify the solution

Step 2: Reverse-engineer the problem

Step 3: Find the underlying issues

Step 4: Turn the tables
