Um... I solved around 300 puzzles by myself -- a lot of easy ones, and did some medium-difficulty ones, but referred to guide for some to save time. For the most difficult ones, time isn't an issue, because they're just too damn cryptic / complex for most people, including myself. Jonathan Blow is like a genius.
The final challenge of the game is the...well, "Challenge" trophy at the end. You gotta solve 14 puzzles in about 6.5 minutes or so. Those puzzles are random, so there are no guides to tell you answers (also, the previous rest-mode exploit has been patched). If I had not used any brain throughout the game and simply followed guides mindlessly, then I wouldn't have gained the skills and knowledge required to know how to overcome this challenge. As it stands, the extent of training I had was enough for me to beat this final section in 2 hours (which is still quite long to spend on one sequence of puzzles).
And it was satisfying; really gets the heart pumping because of how tight it was. So no, it wasn't a waste of time. Fastest time in the world for getting all the trophies for the game is 3 hours 50 minutes on PSNProfiles: https://psnprofiles.com/100-club/4266-the-witness
