have you seen FFXII? there is the most retarded quest where a father has lost his son, and the son has in turn lost his father, the solution is to turn the dad 90 degrees left and the son 90 degrees right, and then they realize they were next to each other all along. I stopped playing for a while after to get over the trauma.
Surely this has to be some kind of maths puzzle. Otherwise it is indeed 'Lame'
