As a computer science student, I've learned to to play with something until it breaks. That rule has bitten me on more than one assignment and I'm glad to see it has real world applications (aside from coding).

I have no way to prove this, so you'll have to believe me on this one-- My "Theory of Knowledge" class in high school did this puzzle, and the first two to get the answer confidently both ended up in college for computer science. Pretty interesting-- you've learned with computer science, and others who have it, whether "it" is talent or whatever, appear drawn to fields where it's applicable.
