Of course this answer doesn't use all of the given information. For example, the horizontal line in the top middle tile could be translated upwards and everything would still apply. But the same is true of what appears to be the intended solution. In that solution, it doesn't matter whether two lines in a square cross or don't cross, so long as they start and end so as to connect with the lines in adjacent squares. One could also say that going downwards for row 2 but left-to-right for rows 1 and 3 is a bit arbitrary. Our basis for deciding what we think is the best solution is subjective, or at least would take a lot of definition to be made objective.
