Problem Solving Phase

0: Somewhat troubled but unable to verbalize

1: Can verbalize what is troubling you but cannot come up with a solution

2: Comes up with a solution but does not try (lack of time or confidence)

3: Try and fail and lose heart

... and I thought about the ladder halfway through.

4: Tried and failed and "something doesn't work" = 0

5: I can verbalize why it doesn't work but can't come up with a solution = 1

6: I can come up with a solution, but...

and enter the second cycle.
