Often go puzzles have more solutions.
If your solution is not the one that the author of the puzzles offers, how will you react?
Do nothing and thoughtlessly proceed to the next puzzle?
Or start wondering why the author came up with that solution?
Obviously I hope that you start wondering why a different solution is offered.
