I do some of this steps in random order (and loop until there are no more ideas):

5.Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.

3.Try to find an answer by reading the manual.

2.Try to find an answer by searching the Web.

7. Try to find an answer by reading the source code. (+ only source is almost never available so I use reverse engineering instead)

Rarely do i need to ask questions with this methodology, and the guy who should answer probably would have to do the same.
