If it's easy there's no satisfaction in doing the problem ... and if it's too hard, then it's upsetting to be unable to do it.
So for me the optimum problem is hard (for me) but just at the limit of what I can do. Is this a good philosophy for life?

A problem was just showed to me yesterday, so I solved it thinking this is simplest way to solve this, Then ganesh comes along and does the problem in a slightly more complex way but ends up with a much nicer solution. A much simpler solution. A smaller solution. If we view easy as a math term, we need to define what easy means.
Some of the things you work and solve don't particularly appear easy to me. But by your definition they are easy for you. We would need to define easy in some way that everyone could agree upon. A way that was intuitively obvious and made sense. Like an axiom. I don't think such a thing exists.
For the sake of the posts I know you are speaking of what is easy for you. And I hope you get your wish, because there must be some overlap between what is easy for you and what is easy for me.
