in reply to What type of challenges do you enjoy?

Tanktalus,
Let's start with a list:

In other words, I like finding problems that require me to think about things in new ways. This is not the same as "I like to learn new things". I am just as happy learning how to solve an old problem in a new way as I outlined in Necessity is the mother of invention. It isn't necessarily important to me that my new knowledge be useful to myself or anyone else. If it has practical application, great.

In addition to finding problems that force me to think about things in a new way, I also enjoy working on problems that I believe are probably beyond my capabilities. I don't know how far I can go until I push myself. Even if I fail, I tend to learn new things along the way and I am happy with that.

Cheers - L~R
