When comparing programs, you don't just look at the number of lines only. There are many factors to consider: recoverability, usability, efficiency, e.t.c. Your program can be better than another in one aspect but might be inferior in another different aspect.

Exactly. I remember I was trying to make a function that would determine the total number of ways I could reach a monetary total X given a money set Y (a.k.a. reaching $0.25 with penny, nickel, and dime). My final solution ended up being about 10 lines of code. The solution given with the contest (as this problem was in a contest) was about 3 times as long, but when I ran both programs with the same input, mine took about 5 seconds while the other took less than 1 second. The given solution was far more efficient (I think it used dynamic programming or some such advanced technique).
