True, but you *didn't*. If you're similar to me, at one point, your first thought was "Ooh, this is fun" and at a later point your first thought is "This is a solved problem. How do I find the general answer with a formula or computer again?"

Both are equally interesting reactions, because the first leads to the second, whilest often *doing* the first leads to more understanding (eg. suggestions for similar games/theorems), but it shows a change in view.

Or am I bullshitting? :)
