When I say the words boulder problem what route first comes to mind. Try not to look at the other responses before you answer to avoid any foreign influence. I am interested to see what people come up with most often.

Two problems in the South that everyone I talk to seems to know about:
Millipede at HP40. No, haven't solved it.
God Module, also at HP40. Haven't even met anyone who's solved it..
For now, they will remain problems until I crack my current V4 plateau. I hear the Lowdown at HP40 is in my range and considered one of the area's "ultra-classics".

The Lorax and Andrew Roof come to mind. As do little fluffy clouds, over the falls, scatterbrain, and gill pinch.

Yellow Arete at Boat Rock, Atlanta. It's every bit of a V4 and one of the best looking lines I've ever seen. A great highball with the crux at the sketchy top out, of course.

The Impossible Problem, at smugglers notch in Vermont. An area classic, it almost serves as a right of passage for locals.

Head splitting rock on the ground ,directly below the crux, that I decided not to cover with the a crash pad because I decided to put it under the 22 foot top out instead of the 11 foot crux.

Sorry, I suppose that wasn't a particular problem but just the first thing that really comes to mind. But it was inspired by a V2 boulder problem on the Suzuki Boulder in Rocky Mountain National Park, just in case anyone is familiar with it.

When someone says "boulder problem" I don't think of routes.
The problems that come to mind are:
Pocket Rocket & They Call Him Jordan--> Joes Valley
Golden and Lemon Boulder (lemonhead or drop can't remember)
Imbred Arete--> AK
OMG--> IA
Circus Trick--> Moab That's probably the winner.

HP40 at night. The climbs are great during the day, but the dead of 2 A.M. makes it nothing short of theapy.

A boulder route that takes a long time and a lot of patience and perseverence to solve, or myabe never solve. Something that you keep going back to even when you know you won't succeed. But for some reason, it keeps you hooked and determined anyways.
