I also have the feeling that making mistakes — selecting an image that looks like a traffic light but isn’t — sometimes results in faster admittance than being surgically accurate.
Again, being slower and more error prone seems to be rewarded.

I don't even know what the right answer is in a lot of cases. There's a bit of the traffic light casing at the edge of a square, does that count as a traffic light, or only the lamp itself?

The right answer isn't what it is looking for. Its more looking for the way you try and work out the answer.
One trick that seems to help fool that awful piece of tech: click slowly on the images, as if you were thinking a second or two before each click. Maybe click a wrong image and deselect it again. In other words, behave like a slow human, and it seems to work better than if I solve it as quickly as possible.
