About Tango #717
- Tango #717 starts with 6 of 36 squares filled: 5 suns and 1 moon.
- It has 3 equals signs and 2 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- It has 6 pre-filled squares, fewer than the average of 8.4 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 6 pre-filled symbols, with no guessing.
- R2C2 and R2C3 are neighboring suns in row 2, and a third sun beside them would make three in a row, so R2C1 and R2C4 on both ends must be moons.
- R2C2 and R3C2 are neighboring suns in column 2, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R1C2 next to them must be a moon.
- R1C3 and R2C3 are neighboring suns in column 3, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R3C3 next to them must be a moon.
