That’s a lot more than two steps. (But that’s algebra for ya; I’m a Euclidean geometry guy myself.)
“Math and Its Problems” (Gag math textbook that my brother Stefan and I like to sneak into cartoons and illustrations)

So… “Learn algebra, and you too can live in a derelict old building like this one” is what this cover is saying?

Even math books jumping on the climate-change dystopian SF bandwagon. I end up reading lots of self published stuff & believe me I know what I’m talking about.
I should have thought a cover for a mathematics book was fairly easy not to screw up. All you need is a legible title in a sans-serif font and a couple of equations in the same font, and to use some contrasting colours to make it easy to read.

Lies! There are 19 steps on this cover.

I accepted the challenge and began coding a recursive solution for this multi-step two-step problem using my preferred programming language (BS++), but got a little sidetracked:
1. You put your right foot out
2. You push your right foot down
3. You put your left foot out
4. And you shake it all around

Got a job as a slushpile reader or something?
Close enough.

Bravo
Actually, I would have felt better paying the exorbitant prices on a mathematics textbook if it had a creepy, haunted building on it.
It was always the cleanup after hurricanes that drove my hatred of algebra.
