Patterns.

I used to draw extremely complex mazes as a very young child filling large pieces of paper and I could draw them really fast (I know I still could). They were always perfectly made with only 1 possible route through, although they were so complex people would give up trying to find it.
 
Since my parents first had a colour TV back in 1982/1983, I used to be obsessed with the colour TV test panel as shown in my profile picture.

I was only 3 years old when I first came across such patterns and I still like this to this day on since I'm getting close to 40.

Yes the test pattern. I miss when TV signed off, they'd go through all the specs of their transmitting towers, then do the national anthem. On my satellite dish I get all sorts of test patterns and codes when networks are transmitting stuff. I can also tune into some news camera feeds before they get edited at the news station. I like the feeling of watching stuff that most other people don't see.

I also liked the test printing patterns off cereal boxes and other food boxes, usually found on the inside flaps. I also used to want to be the first one to open a roll of Scotch tape, so I could get that bit of color off the end of the roll.

The bike wheel pattern, it makes me see things that aren't there. I'm often fascinated by things like that. There was an episode of Brain Games where they showed all these different patterns and how that knowledge could be used to distract you. Was into optical illusions when I was a kid.

I love doing maze puzzles! The human sized ones ( corn mazes or that one in the Shining movie) terrify me though.
