About Tango #710
- Tango #710 starts with 9 of 36 squares filled: 3 suns and 6 moons.
- It has 5 equals signs and 4 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- It has 9 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 9 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R2C1 and R2C3 are both moons with only R2C2 between them in row 2, so another moon there would make three in a row; R2C2 must be a sun.
- Column 1 already holds 3 moons, which is its full quota of half the 6 squares, so its remaining empty squares R5C1 and R6C1 must all be suns.
- In row 3, the cross sign between R3C4 and R3C5 guarantees one sun and one moon in that pair, so together with the 2 suns already placed the line reaches its quota of 3 suns, and the last free square, R3C6, must be a moon.
