puzzles with two solutions

Regardless of the puzzle rules, how come SAM, who can scan whole planets on the fly, can't figure out these puzzles once you've scanned the glyphs? Isn't there a SAM upgrade we can acquire so he can solve them all?

This isn't the only one that I've seen with multiple solutions

No where in the instructions does it say anything about turning 4x4 grids into smaller 2x2 grids. There are no repeats in the rows or columns with the shapes so it technically solves the puzzle.


(Note:I'm not trying to start a war because I personally haven't had any issues solving any of the puzzles. All of them but 1 on Elaaden were pretty easy. I'm just saying that the OP does have a point)

Look at the instructions above the pattern.

No row, column or highlighted shape can include repeats of the same glyph.


See the 4 outlined "boxes" within the overall grid itself?  those are the highlighted shapes mentioned in the instructions.

I have found four remnant puzzles so far that have two solutions. The game will call one of them a failure, but they both satisfy the rules.

(if anyone has already posted this, my search did not find it. Chalk that up to a really bad BSN search function.)

Are you sure you're following all the rules? There are three rules: no matching figures in rows, columns and highlighted shapes.

I had thought that I had found a puzzle with two solutions, but had neglected that last rule bc I didn't understand it. Once I did, I realized my error. The "highlighted shape" rule is not well explained and the shapes are not very well highlighted, but usually these are boxes within the large puzzle box, but sometimes the "highlighted shapes" are different shapes.

Here is a picture of less common "highlighted shape," with circled errors within the shape that lead to FAILURE if you press the solve button before correcting:
