Simon is a fan of the 3Blue1Brown channel and absolutely loved their video on solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle with binary and ternary numbers. He practiced a lot with both. Eventually he developed his own, rhythmic, way to solve the puzzle:

He also really liked the video on Visualizing the Riemann zeta function and yelled “Mom, look how beautiful this is!” the whole time:
