On this year's 1000steine-Land event we held a competition with 20 identical
sets, all bought at the same time at the same place. At least in one step the
sets came in three different versions with slightly different pieces.

in the instruction (at least since the last two years), so whenever someone is
creating an inv from an instruction, chances are existing that the inv became
"wrong".
