About Tango #694
- Tango #694 starts with 4 of 36 squares filled: 3 suns and 1 moon.
- It has 3 equals signs and 7 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- It has 4 pre-filled squares, fewer than the average of 6.0 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 5 squares by pure deduction from the 4 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R2C3 and R3C3 are neighboring suns in column 3, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R1C3 and R4C3 on both ends must be moons.
- R4C3 and R4C4 are neighboring moons in row 4, and a third moon beside them would make three in a row, so R4C2 and R4C5 on both ends must be suns.
- The cross sign between R4C2 and R3C2 says the two squares must be opposites, and R4C2 was already shown to be a sun, so R3C2 has to be a moon.
