Indeed, besides if you only count the two parters as, "When the girls would think outside the box." They didn't do so a whole lot, it was mostly either brute force or going with the logical conclusion. Celestia solved a lot problems with thinking outside of the box, Starlight thought outside the box before getting to Chrysalis and reaching the logical conclusion that, "The Changelings don't need to feed on love." In the average episode they'd get creative with their solutions but in the two parters, with the exception of 2 that I can think of, it was always, "Elements. Elements. Love. Spike. Sacrifice the Elements. Unlock the Mcguffin. Friendship. Friendship. Friendship. This is a school that's never been done before and thus the old rules are borderline useless. And friendship."
