Frantically unwrapping my Christmas gift, I saw the box of the newest LONPOS pyramid puzzle. "Yes!" I shouted out of joy and immediately spent hours trying to solve the complex puzzles and filling in the solution booklet.
My love for puzzles had taught me many things. It taught me it is okay to give up for the day. As I am a human and more often than not, frustration will get me. However, tomorrow morning, I have to make sure to pick up the puzzle I threw away from frustration and continue solving it, because no puzzle is ever solved by giving up. My perseverance let me solved MĂŠnage Problem, whose closed form solution eluded mathematicians for over 40 years, using Graph Theory
It taught me to challenge myself, because there is no bigger satisfaction than solving problem I couldn't solve. This desire for challenges let me took on the hardest IB classes the school has to offer: Math HL, Physics HL, and Chemistry HL.
It also taught me to collaborate; sometimes puzzles are just too hard for one person's brain to handle. This let me form the C3L6 chemistry challenge group, where group members enter Skype chat until long past midnight solving the demanding chemistry problem every month.
Last of all it makes me fall in love with science and engineering, because, after all science and engineering are just bigger and harder puzzles waiting to be solved.
Puzzles had impacted me in many ways, however its most important lesson to me is this: have fun.
