About Tango #701
- Tango #701 starts with 8 of 36 squares filled: 4 suns and 4 moons.
- It has 1 equals sign and 4 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- It has 8 pre-filled squares, more than the average of 6.3 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 8 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R1C4 and R1C5 are neighboring suns in row 1, and a third sun beside them would make three in a row, so R1C3 and R1C6 on both ends must be moons.
- The cross sign between R1C3 and R1C2 says the two squares must be opposites, and R1C3 was already shown to be a moon, so R1C2 has to be a sun.
- The cross sign between R1C2 and R2C2 says the two squares must be opposites, and R1C2 was already shown to be a sun, so R2C2 has to be a moon.
