Holy crap 50 Bitcoins is like $800 bucks right?  So how do they get solved, is it like trial and error?  So theoretically I could get one after a few minutes mining?  (if I'm lucky)

Yeah, brute-forcing a hash calculation by adding a nonce value and hoping the hash meets the appropriate conditions, if I understand correctly.  If you are that lucky, you should buy some lottery tickets!
