I agree with you that I don't like these as well as specific assignment puzzles, but they are popular with many people. I found that it was still quite simple to get through the game just by paying the time forfeit and using the telephone most of the time to skip the crystal ball puzzle. Then I stopped and spent more time on the crystal ball puzzles my second time through.

By the way, one tip I found for this specific puzzle--the cups fill up much higher than I thought at first. So keep at it until you're sure they're both all the way full. This will cause the flags to stay at the top for quite a long time, making it easy to do the next step. When I only had the cup 3/4 full, I wasn't fast enough to do the next step with both flags at the top.
