The Book Thing

I see that several people have been doing this.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

This particular book has a big table on page 23, so there's little text on the page. However, there is a fifth sentence that starts on page 23 and concludes on the next page:

The Problem Statement (or Mission Element Need Statement in the military) gets the process rolling and identifies a problem for which a solution in the form of a system (new or improved) is needed.

This is from The Engineering Design Of Systems: Models And Methods by Dennis M. Buede. It's definitely not leisure reading...
