I noticed that sometimes I fail to find the optimal solution for a room in case it is really simple.

For example I found it surprisingly difficult to find the optimal solution for Level5, 4N1E of Dan's Dungeon although the optimal solution is really very simple. Probably it is too simple so that I did not consider to try it.

I wonder if this is a common experience.

I haven't seen this room but I think this is called a room exploit. They are not easy to find despite being easy by themselves.

And it's certainly normal to over-complicate solutions. Even with experience...
