After a good deal of experimentation, the ground crew solves the information problem, just in time. As with the Simpsons example, the people in this scene can be seen using all of the Big6 steps with special emphasis on task definition, information seeking strategies, use of information, and synthesis.

A football game, for instance, is essentially an information problem pitting one information system against another.
