Fair enough, I see it as something of a spectrum.

Fair enough, I see it as something of a spectrum. From full on OCD[1] on one end where once engaged a puzzle must be finished, drifting off toward zero (not sure how to compute the shape of that curve though). For the OCD person it is a compulsion, for someone just to the right of that, it is entertainment, further right its part of the job, and furthest right it is 'a waste of time and I won't do it.' I completely agree with your point "When I see a problem worth solving,..." the only debate is computing the value. My original point is that as it takes less and less external motivation to engage someone on solving a puzzle/problem they exhibit more and more tendencies of what I associate with the moniker 'hacker.'
