Dragan,

Two things: I am continually impressed with the scope of your knowledge and I love the internet (see below for those like me who didn't know).
Gordian knot
{gohr'-dee-uhn}
In Greek legend, the Gordian knot was the name given to an intricate knot used 
by Gordius to secure his oxcart. Gordius, who was a poor peasant, arrived with 
his wife in a public square of Phrygia in an oxcart. An oracle had informed the 
populace that their future king would come riding in a wagon. Seeing Gordius, 
the people made him king. In gratitude, Gordius dedicated his oxcart to Zeus, 
tying it up with a peculiar knot. An oracle foretold that he who untied the 
knot would rule all of Asia. According to a later legend, Alexander the Great 
cut the knot with his sword. From that time, "cutting the Gordian knot" came to 
mean solving a difficult problem.
