I think you might be right concernig some answers here but generally your answer assumption is incorrect, I'd say. It's not at all the rationalising of "failure" but about thinking patterns. To be specific, "brainiacs" like Bill, have a certain way to deal with problems, any numerical problems. While assuming that there is a deeper algorithm in the puzzle a thorough analysis of the numbers and the correlation to the solution takes time - and quite some brain too. Now this might not be applicable in every field and in this case it is in the contrary even damaging to the solving process, it still reflects a great deal of "thinking". So for some your "fallacious syllogism" theory might apply, in general terms though it really is - naive. By the way I'm studying language and i got it right at the third roll, confirming that i concentrated more on what actually is "said" in the description and name of the game.
