One moment for me was when I suddenly realized what I needed to do to
solve the puzzle in Once and Future involving the planks and the unstable
chalk room.  Spoiler warning for those who haven't played it.

























I literally jumped out of bed in the middle of the night and shouted
"teeter totter!"  That little scene where Snookums jumps on the wood and
it breaks was one of the best hints I've ever seen.  It didn't jump out
and say "I am a hint!"  It was just casually described and it went right
over my head for several days until it suddenly came back like that.  I've
only had that sort of thing happen a few times, but that to me is when IF
really is magical for me.
