Congratulations! You just solved a puzzle for a game you already own!

I like these puzzles, but nothing has been more frustrating than spending time purposefully making myself frustrated only to find out it was for no reason. I understand that you still aren't guaranteed to win the game afterwards. That doesn't stop me from feeling like the kid who's parents told him he would get to go to Disney World for getting straight A's, but then was tricked into going to the dentist. Sure, education is it's own reward, but it sure as hell isn't Disney World. Would it be so terrible to post the name of the game your puzzle is for?

On a related topic, if you read back through some of the puzzles I like to post my thought processes when I am stuck. I do this so other people trying to solve the puzzle can try or skip my methods based on my results. I don't see why it would be terrible to work as a group on these puzzles. All most people ever post is "I tried and gave up" or "I got it and I feel smart". The people who give up should be posting what they tried or their thought processes so other people can try pointing them in the right direction. The people who solved it could be kind enough to drop a hint on those of us who are more dense. I don't know what is worse, knowing you solved a puzzle part way and then getting stuck, or the only help you get is someone saying "oh you are so close" but nothing else. I KNOW I am close, I didn't need to be told that.
