There’s nothing like the “Eureka” moment when you eventually manage to solve a challenging puzzle. I’m a man of puzzles myself, and the ones I like the most are computer science, or programming related, puzzles.
I’ve recently heard a pretty intriguing puzzle I would like to share with you.
Quines

A Quine is a computer program which prints a copy of its own source code as its only output.
Thus it is theoretically possible to compile such a program, run it, and then have its output compiled again to produce the initial program – in an infinite loop, forever.
