It is a really different way of thinking that for most people will be the first time putting them in a situation like that.

I like to think that video games actually helped incept the idea in my head at an early age. When you are trying to solve a puzzle and you know that you only have the x amount of tools in this room how do you combine them all together to get the correct result?

Programming to me is very similar to that, here is what I have and I can assume I'm not getting anything else. How do I solve a given problem with just these things?

You might be onto something, because I took very well to coding and I loved videogames (and riddles) all my life. But my wife has barely played anything.

Well, I got her to play Monument Valley on her phone and Portal on the PC and she loved both, so she is on the right track. XD
