I agree. There's not a need to optimize the code to this degree. I think if you use extra ifs and else statements, you'll lose one or two points, get a 23-24/25. The only way to get a perfect score is to have it optimized.
I'm a perfectionist and it is 100% against my nature to leave a problem unsolved if I think I can get it. If I were strapped for time, I'd have left it as it was. My code worked just fine with that if-else included.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
