If it's not working, you're doing something wrong, not approaching it  
right, or do not have sufficient knowledge. Of course doing something  
different from how you are used to do it going to be more difficult  
and require more time and effort. The biggest difference is that you  
have to think in layers instead of slices. Most people that don't get  
CSS are those that came from the table/slice world where nothing  
overlaps.

I've offered the challenge before: I'll take anyone on in a coding  
race (including it supporting IE 6).
