Grandpa is not going to challenge you to do something easy. What's the point in that? He doesn't say a whole lot when you haven't figured out yet how to succeed at the challenge, but he will usually let you keep trying until you get it -- or not. If you don't slay this dragon, there will always be more he can think up. So long as you give your best effort, all's right and tight. He's more chagrined, I think, when one of the kids doesn't want to even try or gets whiney when they have trouble. But, boy, do his eyes light up when you persist and beat the game!
Kinda reminds me of Somebody Else we know.
