    Part of the reason why I can’t get into Rubik’s cubes, and it also lingers in the back of my mind with puzzles like sudoku or minesweeper.

      I have to admit that it’s hard for me to play a game with an ending when I know I probably won’t ever win.

      I got really into nonograms (and einstein-riddle style puzzles) and I found the repeat application of known rules to be kind of soothing. Maybe it’s a getting old thing? I’m still not really into puzzle cubes either but I think I get it now. When you deal with a lot of unknowns in other parts of life, sometimes its nice to work through something knowing there’s a solution and a victory somewhere at the end.
