It is crazy to me too. It's so annoying and VStudio does so much for you and has tons of functionality but then this obvious thing of managing folders seems to be too difficult for it. 
I don't get it. It's as if the devs / product owners who created it have never really used it to create projects that contain any extra folders outside of the VSTudio generated ones.
Hmmmm...maybe I'm onto something.

vi is looking better all the time.

Yeah it does, I don't know how you create folder but if I right click on the folder/solution to be the parent and use add new item - folder vs creates the folder in the file system as well as adding to the solution structure.
Ah forget it, I'm adding to project and sub folders, not the "solution folder". I've never actually attempted to add a folder at the solution level.

Have you tried using "Folder View"? (The drop-down button next to the house in the Solution Explorer toolbar.)

What's that going to do for me? There is no folder created on the file system when you create a "solution folder". I verified that with Windows Explorer. It's insane.

Yes, but it would let you see and manage the physical folders. If you create a folder in "folder view", it creates an actual file system folder. If you add files to that folder, they're actually added to that folder.

Surprise. No it doesn't.
We're talking about *solution* folders, not project folders.
The best way to see what I'm talking about is to try it yourself.
Create a new solution (it doesn't matter what type), and add a folder at the solution level. And then add a folder to that folder. You'll see *no* folders were created on the file system. To further screw with your head, add a file to each of those folders, and you'll see that the files are placed in the sollution's root folder.
It's stupid...

I know what you're talking about, but that's when you're creating folders in "solution" view.
If you switch to "folder" view, you're viewing and modifying the actual file system folder structure, and you don't get the "new solution folder" option.

Granadilla?
I haven't quite worked out a solution yet though, so I guess it's probably wrong.

I must admit, that was my thought earlier on but it doesn't tie in with the letter count. (Also the stone is granite)

So it wasn't just me, it did actually say 10 to start with?
I considered pomegranate too, but quickly discarded it due too count of letters. Perhaps if I had tried to work out the solution to it then it would have led me to question your counting.
Oh well, it's all for fun so it doesn't matter
