The minimal surjective-strategy conjecture for wreath products

Let GHG\wr H be a wreath product with state group KK, and call a surjective strategy minimal when it has the form {kiK}i=1K1\{k_i\in K\}_{i=1}^{|K|-1}. Minimal strategy conjecture. Whenever GHG\wr H has a surjective strategy, it also has a minimal surjective strategy {kiK}i=1K1\{k_i\in K\}_{i=1}^{|K|-1}. Minimal strategies would give the shortest possible guaranteed bound discussed in the source; the conjecture is based on the examples known to the authors and remains open.
