Thanks for the comments, guys.
To hooray, I wouldn't want to be the one making that hypothetical whole-game-playthrough image. Just the sorting phase would take forever. 
Heh, yeah, it's actually making it back to Vici that's the trouble. "Easy mode unlocked" is the hardest room in the return trip IMO. And as you can see in the image, I once locked up and forgot to do anything when I made it back to Vici - I was so surprised at having survived Easy Mode Unlocked when it looked like I wouldn't that I momentarily forgot what to do about it.
You can also see that I once got a little too excited, and hit right too early.
As for Gordian Knot, it's not too bad for me because I can pause at every stage and gauge my next move. Doing Things the Hard Way is all hard training and muscle memory—there isn't enough time to think, so you have to rely on your hindbrain to get you through.
You could make a case for Edge Games being the harder trinket, or Prize for the Reckless. Those two don't lend themselves as well to muscle memory, so repeatedly getting them doesn't help much. I always forget the trick to "A Deception" and have to figure it out again. That might make for another interesting image...
But "Gordion Knot"? Phhhbt.

Huh? This trinket is insanely easy. Just remember to go the far right in Vici room when falling down.
