Another harder one I saw the other day, is long term gains, which seem to be much harder to visualize.
Take for instance flossing your teeth, it hurts sometimes, and could make your mouth bleed, not really the most pleasant task, but down the road you get the benefit of having a healthy mouth. But how do we know to look that far down the road, and how to we represent this tradeoff nicely.

How do you know that we don't get direct rewards on solving crossword
puzzles (or any other mental task)?
Chances are that under certain mental condition ("achievement state"),
brain produces some form of pleasure signal.
If there is no such reward, then what's your explanation why people
like to solve crossword puzzles?
