Anyone else like problem solving, specifically the math or compsci ones?

Don't know about 'like'.. problem solving is more of a compulsion for me though I find people far more compelling than math or computers.. which don't tend to punch you, fire you, invade your country, incarcerate you  or refuse you intimate access to their naughty bits if you provide the 'wrong' solution.

Women are particularly intriguing because you can solve the problem and still be wrong because you solved the problem instead of sympathising with the fact there was a problem (I know there is a famous movie reference for that truism but it escapes me and my google-fu reveals nothing.. my wife thinks maybe 'White Men Can't Jump' but is not sure so I empathised with her frustration in not being able to remember just to be on the safe side.)

I love Canada, got a lot of family out there, awesome place and very much  like a really big Scotland but without some of the historical baggage.

I sense an academic, or at least intellectual, bent in the respondants to this thread. A common trait of BM players, do you think? or just of those willing to expose themselves on this thread?
