Randall Munroe of xkcd mentioned this game on his blog (in an entry about distracting yourself on the internet). It's made by this programmer Nicholas Feinberg, who used to make games on calculators. It makes me feel smarter, but at the same time it makes it abundantly clear that there are things I will probably never understand in an intuitive way, no matter how much I want to, like programming, which this (apparently) is very similar to. The way you're supposed to play it is by understanding the visual logic he's presenting, but if you're not a programmer, you have to go through trial and error with it until your brain melts in the right way and it starts to make a little bit of sense, and you start to go through rounds of trial and error that are more and more relevant.
