The best 'aha' moments are compressed tutorials: after solving one clever mechanism, the player usually understands an entire family of future problems. Put that beside this bit of history: Minesweeper turns incomplete information into logic; a number does not reveal a mine, it reveals a constraint on several possible squares around it. The phrase 'there must be a trick' is often correct and rarely comforting.

Matchstick puzzles work because humans automatically accept familiar symbols and shapes. Moving one tiny stick can change a number, an equation or even the meaning of the whole picture. One more curious detail: Tetris was created by Alexey Pajitnov in Moscow in 1984 while he worked at a computing center of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Its name combines a reference to four-part shapes with Pajitnov's fondness for tennis.
