Often the right solution come from the right question. Often but not always, the right question was asked followed by the right solution. But just like the old Gauss, I paused and began to ask, did I asked the right question?
Redefining the question, often but not always, simplifies the whole problem set particularly if the subject is totally beyond ordinary topics. I realized that my questions with regards to prime numbers is pointing towards Riemann's Zeta function, which had already put many mathematicians to madness. Nevertheless, I shall not forget about it. It is a question that stimulates my mind.
I had somebody asking me what the triangle be of use for (to human being or daily life). So I answered 'nothing'. Indeed it is useless. The knowledge I gain from this pursuit is probably useless beyond comprehension. But hey, what should I care. What is important is 'I like it'.
