I think there's other types of compulsive people too. I'm not, in my view, a compulsive puzzle solver. Rather, I'm obsessive about understanding elegant solutions to complex problems. Usually I define elegance in different ways, but nevertheless that's the thing I most enjoy. So puzzles by themselves don't often hook me too much. Especially if the puzzle itself has 1 way to solve it. But I'll spend days obsessing, losing sleep, forgetting to eat and etc all because I "feel" a problem has a more clean solution. Though, I'm probably not a hacker in this sense.. hmm. /shrug
