abstract algebra - Nice examples of groups which are not obviously groups



I am searching for some groups, where it is not so obvious that they are groups.




In the lecture's script there are only examples like $\mathbb{Z}$ under addition and other things like that. I don't think that these examples are helpful to understand the real properties of a group, when only looking to such trivial examples. I am searching for some more exotic examples, like the power set of a set together with the symmetric difference, or an elliptic curve with its group law.
