I don't mind challenges either. Its just frustrating when I get stuck and the solution turns out to be doing something that borders on non-sensical (unless I do it by accident or dumb luck).
I think the reason this happens is when the creators expect you to think exactly they did when they designed the puzzle, but human brains approach things differently.
Not everyone is going to look at a drawing of an arrow pointing up and interpret it to mean that you have to slap the clown in the face with a fish. (<-I made that up, but it's not too different from a puzzle that made me stuck in a previous game)
P.S. Thanks for the link, Garage Gothic.
