Constraints often boost creativity.

Programming is no different - it's only by going outside what you know, and
looking from another direction (working, if you like, your brain, so that it

one might do is somehow sinful.
      -- Tim Peters, _Python Cookbook_

A fruitful approach to problem solving is known as "divide and conquer", or
