‘A great discovery solves a great problem,
but there is a grain of discovery in the
solution of any problem. Your problem may
be modest, but if it challenges your
curiosity and brings into play your
inventive faculties, and if you solve it by
your own means, you may experience the
tension and enjoy the triumph of
discovery’.
- George Pólya
