Andrew, THINK instead of reacting and publickly flying to bits at every 
puzzle you can't open in ten seconds flat.  Your biggest fallacy is assuming 
that because you haven't personally got it ***YET***, then it's proven FACT 
that NO answer exists.  Instead of taking research to the next level, you 
shut the book and blame the fuck out of the software for being criminally 
stupid or whatever thing it is that has your pique at the moment.

Seeking help and answers is OK.  Having tantrums is the realm of children 
and is not becoming in people beyond 11 years old.

You must be totally emotionally exhausted at the end of every day if they 
are all like this...
