Well, it wasn't hard for me, it was impossible. I guess I just don't think the right way.

One day when I was doing my initial ATC training in Oklahoma, our sims broke so our instructors handed us about ten of these to do thinking it would keep us busy for awhile.  We came back in 30 min with them all done.  Once you get a few and start thinking about them the 'right way', they actually are pretty easy.
