Oh, Alt-Rodney, you so should have been able to figure out the solution. :-(

You know, to be quite honest, I loved the fact that for once, one Rodney could not figure out what the solution was. Makes him more human, and the whole episode more realistic. That is not to say that I don't agree with you, I did feel bad for the other Rodney, but I thought it was quite the clever device to have one Rodney fail only to get the other to think differently.
