A 'clean' solution...
Maybe I'm just an idiot but I don't quite understand what the qualifications are for a 'clean' solution? I can't seem to find any info on it.
If someone could please explain it then I would be extremely grateful!

Thanks!

I think they mean when the lasers are contained in the puzzle and not shooting off the edge.

A solution is clean if no lasers leave the puzzle area or hit an obstacle (like a wall or the back side of a mirror). You can open the statistics window in the top right corner to see if the current step is clean.

Ah, thanks Dangerous Beans (you are a very educated rodent indeed!), I was missing the fact that it couldn't hit an obstacle either. I had many solutions with no lasers going off screen, thinking 'why isn't this clean?'. Thanks!

I'm finding laser length the hardest thing to optimize. A tip: for clean solutions use prisms to block superfluous non-white beams. If you block with the wrong side of a mirror, it's not clean as a laser is hitting a component from the wrong direction.

Of course, there's a trade-off here where you could instead try not to produce superfluous beams, but that could still use more components.

Sorry for the tardy answer but this seemed the right topic for my post.
