Yes ! I also absolutely HATE the idea of skipping a puzzle. After all, puzzles are one of the main reasons that most of us love Adventure games over other genres!
During VERY many years of playing I honestly don't remember if & when I ever skipped a puzzle before no matter how tough (but 'fair' !)
Here's another one {Below} !
I spent about 3 hours and over a dozen tries but in the end I had no alternative but to
skip in order to continue the game.
That's not 'right' is it ??
I wonder if ANYBODY managed to solve the puzzle PROPERLY – nobody has yet said so.
If however somebody HAS done so,
please tell me the steps you used – or at least your strategy in solving it. TIA.
