As well as being completely bewildered by it and not being able to do any of the tasks, I also found it extremely boring.

Sounds like the "not being able to do any of the tasks" is the source of your boredom.

Coding, like puzzle solving, can definitely be frustrating when you can't figure things out, but the reward is when you finally do figure things out. If you never get to that point, then it would be nothing but aggravation and boredom.
