A lot of math problems/proofs are like minesweeper or sudoku in a way though. They're a long series of individually kinda simple logical deductions that eventually result in a solution. Some really hard problems are only really hard because each one of those "simple" deductions requires you to have expert knowledge in some disparate area to make that leap.
