Did *you* think it won't be?

It's pretty stupid to choose known dead-end in the first place.
You could as well choose steam engines to build upon.

And as noted previously, trying to solve 100% tasks is usually
either too pricey or virtually impossible.  You just make the
same impression as a b^Hman who would try to implement complex
system using only in-place error handling but not exceptions.

Google up "ТРИЗ", you might finally see how solving tasks
partially might suddenly be a huge benefit to solving them
completely in the end.

PS: one might also try to focus e.g. on brain, I think it might
be somewhat more relevant. :}
