When someone innocently asks why you know Romanian geography so well, and you have to explain that implementing A* pathfinding means you've traversed every possible route between Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca about 47,000 times in your test cases. The chess board with the AI textbook is chef's kiss – because nothing says "I'm a normal person" like having Russell & Norvig's brick of a book memorized while your pathfinding algorithm treats European cities like graph nodes. Sure, you could just say you like geography, but where's the fun in hiding the fact that you've optimized heuristic functions using Romanian cities as your dataset? The Traveling Salesman Problem hits different when you're actually trying to visit every Romanian city in minimum time.
