GHS solution (better score) can be:
1) the same solution but having better
optimization (more efficient execution),
2) an alternative, competitive, but
slightly better solution, or
3) a short cut.
Usually, if the GHS winner knows MORE
than one solution and the solutions
have DIFFERENT ratings, he/she chooses
the lowest rating regardless of the
best solution he/she submits for GHS.
I don't understand why Kheper put the
tank besides the flag in LT #725-728
("Kids>...Others>..."). The LT rules
must be universal, no exception. A
"fair" evaluator - a computer for
example - would give them "Kids"
rating with 1/0 solutions.
James O'Kelly created Beginner-I #1772
"kids right others down ~hint" but the
solver didn't care about the hint, he
gave 1/0 solution and won the GHS.
What's the difference?
Back to Ch-II #886.
Probably, the solver had a hard time
before he found a way to reach the
I-column safely, so he gave the "Hard"
rating.
