     No, you didn't -- that _is_ the solution to that puzzle.  In fact, with
practice, you can actually nail that little button the "normal" way-- but you
won't get credit for solving the puzzle unless you "cheat."  

     The puzzles that stick in my mind the most aren't the hard ones so much
as the annoying ones-- the High Priestess and the Hedge Maze w/winds, for
example.

This is kinda embarassing, but the last puzzle I finally solved
was ---
 
one of those damn word search grids.  The one with colors.  Agh!
My eyes went blurry looking for the last color!  But I did it!
I found it! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
 
Now all I have to do is get the furshlugginer map together....
I especially enjoyed, by the way, the reassemble-the-picture
type puzzles.  Not difficult, mind you, but fun. Also the select-
the-buttons-in-the-right-order puzzles.

The ones that had me stumped for a long time were Death and the Three Ships.
Actually, the Three Ships was only difficult before I solved the Devil.

The High Priestess, the Hermit, and the Humbug were annoying puzzles, but
not difficult. 

On one of the treasures (the Straight Path is disguised) I took a wild stab
at it and got it right. Miracle.
