I think I had the perfect example this weekend of why you have to accept solutions with fewer elements.
On the left of the screenshot is the solution that was expected to a puzzle and uses 20 elements.
On the right is the solution I found that uses only 19 elements.
If the game refuses me my solution, no kidding, I throw the computer out the window and stop playing
