I thought the Feynman technique was:

1) Write down the problem

2) Think real hard

3) Write down the solution

In other words, the "draw the rest of the fucking owl" of general learning/problem solving.

Lots of people (e.g. [0], [1], [2]) have blogged the Feynman technique, which seems to have been first documented in Gleick’s biography [3]. The various descriptions identify the following four steps:

* write down the name of a concept

* write down an explanation of the concept in plain English, identifying the bits you don’t know

* review the explanation, going back to source material if there is something that you haven’t yet explained, and repeat step 2

* simplify the language and rewrite bits where you have paraphrased the source material

No, it's

  1) Write down the problem
  2) Frame it in such a way as to pique Feynman's curiosity
  3) Wait for Feynman to tell you how he solved it

These days we call this approach 'lazyweb'

That's the Feynman algorithm, not technique: https://badarabbas.com/2013/07/30/feynman-pauli/
