I can't quite remember what the problem was that was solved, but we talked about wasting resources, like kids bringing their lunches in in their own lunchboxes, and how we could use a bigger lunch box, but fit multiple lunches in it. Saving the space and better using the resources. I remember their being a discussion about fitting a banana in there, but I can't quite remember the problem she solved. I just remember being amazed :)

Absolutely agree with this. I never heard from my father that something was too complicated, he'd just try to break it down into chunks I could manage, this now I see as a built in technique that my brain goes through when trying to solve a difficult problem. Sometimes I can even feel it breaking tasks up and inspecting them one by one :)

That love of knowledge is so true also, my love of knowledge knows no bounds :)

Thanks for commenting, it's awesome to receive feedback, and even more so when it's positive, heh.
