After watching those videos, I have no idea what kind of minds pursue these challenges. I had a headache after watching the "solved" one.
That said, I had a long time friend, now deceased, who was a well known crossword puzzle creator for the NYT and other syndicated publications (he was even in a movie with Slick Willie) who used to use me to test puzzle questions that he thought were too tough for the average person. He knew I hated x-words. I ALWAYS got his hardest and rarely his easiest (in his mind). It drove him nuts. Different minds, different capabilities.
