It's a reading equivalent to the Feynman Problem Solving Algorithm (which I personally think is really just a variant of the universal Nike Algorithm applied specifically to problem solving).

Is it though? The algorithm you reference is meant to be a joke:

1) Write down the problem.

2) Think real hard.

3) Write down the solution.

This is not a useful algorithm in any sense, apart from that it might be thought provoking.

What's the "universal nike algorithm"? I didn't find anything on google.

I assume it's a play on Nike's tag-line: "Just do it"

		Oh, I get it. Missed the joke.
