Those are activities where repeating the same experience yourself is still enjoyable, kind of like you might eat today even though you already ate yesterday.

Finding mathematical proofs is probably more like seeing the ending to a mystery novel. Once the ending has been spoiled for you, it's really hard for you to enjoy it the same way, and it might be more fun to move on to a different mystery.
