I can't help wondering when reading this...just how many "free brain cycles" do people have in the world?
By "free brain cycles", I mean like one's not used for work and your family and perhaps one hobby...
I cannot even imagine how many people worked so hard and used their cycles to figure this puzzle out, and like I can barely remember what to buy from the store whenever I go.
Don't get me wrong, it's a hell of an achievement for everyone involved, but I just have such a hard time understanding the absolute motivation behind it.

Well you have to consider that this is the "one hobby" for a lot of people, so your own division of brain cycles leaves room for a group who works on things like this for fun.
