  Filou, you seems to feel that a puzzle with shortcurt is less good, lest perfect than a puzzle without. I am not sure to agree with that: don't you think that a puzzle without shortcurt is like a one-way puzzle, more limited, less open to creativity?

    @Malice: I am still a relative novice at sokoban and try to create puzzles that are not too simple to solve. When one of you 'veterans' find a shorter route to goal than I conceived, I find it a personal challenge to try and find the shortcuts that you have managed to find - it is hard to 'think outside the box' and find a better solution but it gives me great pleasure when I find the shortcut. I'm sure it will help me improve my sokoban skills.

    @filou: OK, I understand you point of view. But it is not only a question of "veterans" or not: your solutions are smart ;) .

    @Att_Mann: Seems to me that you've managed to find a shorcut - it's getting late so I'll try again tomorrow to block it.

    @filou: No filou, there was definitely no short cut in this puzzle since I believe i had to use all the elements in order to solve it.

    @Att_Mann: You are right that there are no longer any 'shortcuts' in the true sense of the word but yet you and Malice found a shorter route to goal than the one I had conceived. Inspired by your efforts, I managed to find an even shorter route (using all the objects) - can you find it ?
