About Tango #705
- Tango #705 starts with 12 of 36 squares filled: 5 suns and 7 moons.
- It has 2 equals signs and 2 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 12 pre-filled squares, more than the average of 7.4 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 12 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R3C4 and R4C4 are neighboring suns in column 4, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R5C4 next to them must be a moon.
- Column 4 already holds 3 moons, which is its full quota of half the 6 squares, so its last empty square, R6C4, must be a sun.
- The equals sign between R6C5 and R6C6 means they share a symbol, and with a sun on R6C4 right beside them in row 6, a pair of suns would make three in a row, so R6C5 and R6C6 must both be moons.
