  > When I was a young student (around 12), my math teacher came-up with an unique requirement for his students to not only solve math problems but also to compose them. I think this is highly underestimated: there seems to be some sort of a duality between learning & teaching, where you can't really practice one efficiently without the other. This has been observed in part by guys like Feynman[0]; paraphrasing: "learn a topic by teaching/simulating teaching it to a child", which in addition to the above, demands for the topic to be explained in simple terms.

  “Compose” in the sense of “create”, not in the sense of “combine”

    > “Compose” in the sense of “create”, not in the sense of “combine” Although the latter is also highly valuable.
