Named for the one and only Conan the Barbarian, this is a problem that has an immediately obvious solution, yet is more easily (or at least more entertainingly) solved by violence.
1: We've got two options here. We can either skim through this book until we find the reference needed to complete the riddle, or we can slaughter the wizard and his evil henchmen and waltz right through.

2: So we've got one option.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
