Divide and Conquer
==================

The cause of a system failure in a complex system can be difficult to narrow down to the point in execution where you can observe the problem. You can use a divide and conquer strategy to converge on the point of failure by picking points partway through system execution and determine does the problem occur before or after the point of examination.

Here are some tips for finding the point execution in the system so you can observe the problem.
