About Tango #659
- Tango #659 starts with 8 of 36 squares filled: 6 suns and 2 moons.
- It has 1 equals sign and 3 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- It has 8 pre-filled squares, more than the average of 7.9 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 5 squares by pure deduction from the 8 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R2C4 and R2C5 are neighboring suns in row 2, and a third sun beside them would make three in a row, so R2C3 and R2C6 on both ends must be moons.
- The equals sign between R2C6 and R3C6 says the two squares must match, and R2C6 was already shown to be a moon, so R3C6 must be a moon too.
- R4C2 and R4C3 are neighboring suns in row 4, and a third sun beside them would make three in a row, so R4C1 and R4C4 on both ends must be moons.
