Well, it's a good thing I did!

I spent hours trying to figure out how the hell you sneak from one end 
of a crowded hall to the other without a single human being ever seeing 
you. It seems like it's mathematically impossible.

And that I watched a walkthrough. It turns out, if you just give the guy 
at the front desk a blowjob, he'll *open* the door for you (i.e., you 
don't have to sneak through three floors of the building to get in), and 
then you can just *walk* past everybody, without caring if they see you.

...so it *is* mathematically impossible to sneak past! Because that's 
not what you're supposed to do.

(I hadn't realised it was physically possible to sneak to somebody in a 
different room me to. And besides, I hadn't realised that talking to 
people in-game could actually affect the game in any way.)

Perhaps more importantly, the walkthrough demonstrated that by holding a 
certain key combination, you can actually SEE ROUND CORNERS. This 
drastically reduces the game difficulty. The number of times I've poked 
my head round a corner to see if the guy turned around yet, only to have 
all 30 guards instantly go to maximum alert, surround me and kill me...
