About Tango #709
- Tango #709 starts with 8 of 36 squares filled: 6 suns and 2 moons.
- It has 0 equals signs and 4 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- It has 8 pre-filled squares, more than the average of 7.6 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.
- 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.
- The cross sign between R4C4 and R3C4 says the two squares must be opposites, and R4C4 was already shown to be a moon, so R3C4 has to be a sun.
- R3C3 and R3C4 are neighboring suns in row 3, and a third sun beside them would make three in a row, so R3C5 next to them must be a moon.
