Is it healthy to try and solve the MS 408

[oshfdk]

I guess you can approach it in a healthy way (having fun, experimenting, learning) or not so healthy way (when it takes a toll on your health or your relationships, or negatively affects your life in other ways). On the other hand, I'd say it's not the worst of obsessions or addictions.

Personally I gained from toying with the MS much more than I lost. There have been some late nights and it did interfere with some other things in my life occasionally, but I learned a lot, and it comforted me through harder times. The MS is (most likely) 600 years old and has lived through many cataclysmic events in the history of humanity, this helps to put things in life in perspective somehow.
