What a pity your parents didn't want you to play. And what bad luck that you broke your arm while sneaking out and playing along.

I remember my own parents, who were suspicious of my love for painting, theatre and also did not support my first choice of career. In fact, they managed to discourage me. However, the creative side still prevailed in a roundabout way. Since life is never without alternatives, it is too diverse for that, I congratulate you on your other found passion. What exactly do you do when you solve mathematical problems? How should I imagine that? Where do you find the challenges?
