What is it about discrete algebra and complex numbers that you really love? Why are they your favourite?

Do you find beauty in the solutions? Do you enjoy the challenge of trying to solve a problem and then enjoying the *click* when you finally get it.

I always found there are few greater highs in life than solving a tough problem. Then I discovered binge drinking and girls and it all went haywire.
