Nerd Sniping

1. The act of presenting someone, often a mathematician/physicist with a time consuming problem or challenge (often impossible to solve or complete) in the hopes of it appealing to a person's obsessive tendencies.

2. Doing the thing above in a situation where the obsession may lead to bodily harm (in the original context on the middle of a road where they will get inevitably run-over by a truck).

1. The XKCD comic "Click and Drag" nerd sniped me! I never expected it to take so long to explore.

2. There's a certain type of brain that is easily disabled. If you show it an interesting problem it involuntarily drops everything else. This lead me to the development of a new sport: Nerd Sniping.

sniping

the act of bidding on an item on ebay literally seconds before the auction ends. This prevents anyone from outbidding you while also ensuring that you don't bump the price up too much.

rather than bidding early and inflate the price, Geraldo waited until the last couple seconds of the auction for the pimp cup he was bidding on before placing his bid. He succeeded in sniping the item.

Nerd Sniping

The act of presenting an interesting problem to a certain type of nerd, usually a physicist or a mathematician, while he/she is crossing the road, in such a manner that he/she becomes so occupied with it that he/she is soon run over.

First defined on xkcd.

"There's a certain type of brain that's easily disabled. If you show it an interesting problem, it involuntary drops everything else to work on it. This has led to me to evolve a new sport: Nerd Sniping."
