As far as I can tell, solutions are recognized as long as they are valid, regardless of length. Can you post an example of a solution you feel is correct but that isn't being accepted?

Here[1] is one that's not being accepted. Here I have to draw an equilateral triangle given a straight line. I am drawing two circles, on the two terminal points, with radius as the length of the given line. The intersection of two circles is the third point of the triangle.

  In principle, this is the right construction. However, you did not perform a proper construction, as can be seen by the two tiny red circles: Instead of constructing a circle passing through the end points of the given line, you "eyeballed" the circle diameter. Which may look right at this resolution, but if you were to zoom in sufficiently, you would inevitable end up with a circle that oh-so-slightly misses to go through one of the end points of the base line. In the smartphone app, to do this right you need to select the circle tool, start at one end point of the line, then drag your finger exactly to the other end point -- it'll "snap" to that, and create a circle through the second end point.

    Yes, I thought at too so I zoomed in to make sure that I am not making that mistake. I've found a solution though. The second point that indicates the radius of the circle also snaps to other points. I didn't know that. So now I can start dragging from one end point of the given line and end on the other point(not eye ball it) to make sure the circle is the exactly that radius.
