Alan Turing devised the Turing Machine which can be described as a robot which can look at one cell on an infinitely long tape of cells and then, based on what is in that cell and a given program either change the symbol in the cell and/or move the robot to look at the cell to the left/right of the current cell. Alan Turing then went on to prove that it was possible to write a program for this machine that could do the same as the program written for any other computing machine (it might take a very, very, very long time to do it but it would do it). However, some programs are impossible to write; for example it is impossible to write a program which will tell you if a program given to it as input will terminate or not (which Alan Turing proved); this is known as the halting problem.
Describe how you exhibit effective problem solving skills?
Defining the problem.
You gain relevant insights from solving that one problem, and then you can use those insights to help guide you to the solution of the original problem.

The first step in military problem solving is to successfully identify the problem. This step is also applicable to situations outside of the military.
