When I read about it in Gödel Escher Bach I wasn’t aware yet that unsolvable is a valid answer to a problem. I felt cheated(1) and the whole book lost a lot of its appeal.
In retrospect it may have actually undone some damage done by the school system where the solution space is usually very restricted.
Edit: (1) From what I remember it’s stated as find the sequence and not does such a sequence exist.
