IMO, all these mini-games are doable. I won't say doable for ALL ages, but certainly the huge majority of players.
Here's a tip for you all having troubles.
Don't rush, take your time, don't make mistakes.
Half of the time people can't make it through timers, is because they panic when they rush, make mistakes, which wasted lots and lots of very valuable time on the clock.
I was playing the patched version on my PC and got so frustrated that I quit on chapter 11.
Works perfectly on the EE minigame. You will need (it seems) to complete the last move on time. The rest you can take your time on. It seems most of them are identical. Just write down the move and your good to go.
As Vampirechick wrote, get/borrow/buy a Xbox 360 controller (I have a Xbox 360, luckily,) and a Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows (I bought mine from Amazon for $12.59.) You can do the left hand controls with the controller, and the right hand with your mouse. I turned off the sound (less pressure, and went right through the game. Don't give up on the game (I did for a while,) as it gets really good at the end. Graphics are great!
