But there are cleaner copies of this chart out there. Back in 1980, a schoolmate of mine produced a similar flow chart on how to fix a flat tire for his programming class. There was no way to complete his elaborate chart without consuming at least one beer. Most paths put you over the legal limit, but only one path got you up and running again.

The first time I saw the "problem solving" flowchart was at least 10 years ago when a Field Engineer (computer repairman) gave me a photo-copy. It’s pretty old.
