There is a type of person who, when they have a free hour, looks for something to figure out. Not because the problem is urgent or because anyone is waiting on the answer, but because the act of solving is itself the thing they want to be doing. They have a puzzle going somewhere in the house. They have a game on their phone that they play slowly and deliberately rather than impulsively. They can lose an afternoon to a particularly good logic puzzle the way other people lose an afternoon to a TV series, and they would tell you it does not feel like a waste. They are drawn to things that have a structure and a solution and that require you to find the path through. The gift for them is something that gives their brain something worth doing.
