By the release of [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 3|CCLP3]], common busts were essentially eradicated thanks to a greater diffusion of game resources (including this wiki) even among the amateur audience, and any bust due to MS vs. Lynx rulesets was either remedied or was so minor that it did not affect the "unequal" disqualification factor for CCLP3 voting. Due to an orientation towards logic and puzzles, the specifically ordered sequences of tasks that make up many CCLP3 solutions were more convoluted than in the past, thus increasing the propensity for design faults. Fortunately, the aptitude of the pre-release playtester panel had also increased accordingly, with [[J.B. Lewis]] and [[Mike Lask]] among them, and the vast majority of such busts were averted before release. | By the release of [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 3|CCLP3]], common busts were essentially eradicated thanks to a greater diffusion of game resources (including this wiki) even among the amateur audience, and any bust due to MS vs. Lynx rulesets was either remedied or was so minor that it did not affect the "unequal" disqualification factor for CCLP3 voting.

* [[Tossed Salad]]: The [[socket]] is missing.

* [[Replay]] (''minor''): Chip can avoid the socket entirely by cloning blocks in the southeast corner, pushing them into and out of room 4 and building a [[nail]] to cross the force floors into the exit; this is, unlike all other officially recognized busts, ''slower'' than the bold route. The bold utilizes a separate bust, where the [[Steam]] style of room 4 allows Chip to swim out of the room with flippers and across water in room 8 when a bridge was intended, and still finish room 4 later. | * [[Replay]] (''minor''): Chip can avoid the socket entirely by cloning blocks in the southeast corner, pushing them into and out of room 4 and building a [[nail]] to cross the force floors into the exit; this is, unlike all other officially recognized busts, ''slower'' than the bold route.

* [[Objectification]] (''minor''): In the middle section with the blue button, Chip with the ice skates can press the blue button quickly enough to allow the bugs to reach the bombs. The intended solution is for Chip to drop the ice skates, slide along the ice, and have Melinda pick the ice skates up so Chip avoids them. | |||
