Like I said, the solution to one of the puzzles requires you to it 
something in mid-air. Not only that, but you have to jump off at exactly 
the right moment, in exactly the right direction, *before* the thing 
you're trying to hit even appears on screen. And when (not if) you miss, 
you have to spend another 30 seconds setting the whole thing up again 
before you can retry.

I fail to see how *knowing* that that's what you have to do makes it any 
easier to *do* it.

It's like the jumping puzzles in any other game. You might *know* that 
you have to jump from A to J to F in that order. But that doesn't make 
it any easier at all to actually *hit* the targets.
