playing a pipe puzzle game on the kids section of the CBC website for some reason (the reason is i wanted to play something with pipes) that gets absurdly hard in the last third. you have like 12 seconds to get things in place before water starts flowing and if a source isn't connected to pipe by then it's game over, so there's no time to play around and see how to connect things before you die and the board resets. you can only rotate pieces clockwise and not very quickly either. even once you know the solution entering it is a real scramble. just brutal... i wonder how many people have ever seen the end of it...
