Looking for a challenge? One that sprang from the mind of the late John Conway?
How about a deep dive into Fractran?
FRACTRAN was introduced by Conway in 1987 at a special workshop on problems in communication and computation. Although not a major open problem in the field, FRACTRAN was noted for its uniqueness as it could yield all possible computations by operating on a set of numbers in a specific way.
What is certain, however, is that you'll need to twist your brain a couple of notches further for FRACTRAN, and as a result, you'll definitely learn something new.
