About Tango #693
- Tango #693 starts with 4 of 36 squares filled: 3 suns and 1 moon.
- It has 7 equals signs and 9 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- It has 4 pre-filled squares, fewer than the average of 6.9 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 4 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R4C6 and R5C6 are neighboring suns in column 6, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R3C6 and R6C6 on both ends must be moons.
- The cross sign between R3C6 and R2C6 says the two squares must be opposites, and R3C6 was already shown to be a moon, so R2C6 has to be a sun.
- The cross sign between R6C6 and R6C5 says the two squares must be opposites, and R6C6 was already shown to be a moon, so R6C5 has to be a sun.
