What's the most complicated single "problem" that you've had to solve? By that I mean an algorithm, feature, or function that it took you a long time to really wrap your mind around.

I can think of a few, but here's the one that jumps out at me: I had to find a way to orient this 3D model in the right direction. The data I had was a velocity vector, which is X/Y/Z in a particular direction. I had to first write some code to convert that into a pitch, yaw, and roll. Then I had to keep messing with the numbers until I was using them right, subtracting 90 degrees from the pitch, swapping pitch for yaw, etc, until I finally got it right. And then, occasionally, it would break or someone would find a problem, and I'd havbe to do it again. :lol:
