There was a science teacher in my high school that used to have a rule about doing things similarly. For any kind of a lab report, instead of "you must write a report of at least 3 pages", it was "your report must not be more than 2 pages long."

Not only am I sure it made it easier for him to grade, but it really forced students to write concisely about their work.
