To be fair, the solution is just so... stupidly simplistic... that it's not exactly easy for anyone in his position to see. Furthermore, unlike us-the-viewers, he doesn't have the benefit of carrying his memories over from loop to loop.

(Sure, he could have just asked Nagato for some hints, but I don't think he really wanted to bother her at that point, given how obviously screwed up she was by it...)

To be honest I was surprised he ever figured it out at all.
I want to thank you for not going harder on me, given that you like Kyon a lot, and also are a HaruhiKyon pairing supporter.

For what it's worth, I do see some similarities between Haruhi and Kyon. Sighs, actually, is where this came out a bit for me.

Anyway, due to what is perhaps fair criticism of me for not having done so yet... I intend to read through the first eight novels at least. What I've heard of nine is not encouraging, but I might read it as well.
