I thought I knew more than I actually did and so I was trying to teach myself as we went and so while my son waited for me to figure it out, he lost interest.
I have been there, too. Ugh. "Wait a minute, I thought there was a rule about that right... here...?"
Could you use the old trick of asking your 13-yo to figure it out and teach it to you? If you two have a pretty good rapport then he might take it as a challenge, and as a fun way to interact with you and "teach the old man something." (This is highly dependent on the kid, of course.)
