you just need more practice. Try doing the drum bit from Stairway to Heaven whilst playing minesweeper. Consider it a challenge.

Tried challenge:

Lasted 15 seconds before hitting mine
Bashed knuckles on edge of desk
Knocked over empty glass
Nearly got sectioned by parents.

Fibs were based on logical computation of what would have happened if I *had* tried the challenge. I was just saving myself the effort of trying.
Lazy, me ?
