I don't know about you, but I'd probably brag if I came up with the flux capacitor in the bottom left.

We used to work our asses off to come up with painfully convoluted solutions if the DM insulted us with "too obvious." It could take us an hour to get out of a room with an unlocked door.

Kind of like some of my work experience on a construction crew. Guys have problem with obvious solution but I stand back and watch them do everything else but the obvious until I get tired of the the pain of watching them fail over and over and just walk over and show them the solution. Guys too proud to ask, too stupid to figure it out and so they do the same stupid stuff over and over. Or, make a horrible mistake and instead of going back and fixing it make up solutions to cover the errors and or find someone to blame it on who had nothing to do with it.
