About Tango #718
- Tango #718 starts with 4 of 36 squares filled: 2 suns and 2 moons.
- It has 2 equals signs and 6 cross signs between neighboring squares.
- LinkedIn rates it Hard.
- It has 4 pre-filled squares, fewer than the average of 8.0 across the previous 7 puzzles.
- This opening fills 4 squares by pure deduction from the 4 pre-filled symbols and the signs between squares, with no guessing.
- R1C3 and R2C3 are neighboring moons in column 3, and a third moon beside them would make three in a column, so R3C3 next to them must be a sun.
- R5C4 and R6C4 are neighboring suns in column 4, and a third sun beside them would make three in a column, so R4C4 next to them must be a moon.
- The equals sign between R5C2 and R5C3 means they share a symbol, and with a sun on R5C4 right beside them in row 5, a pair of suns would make three in a row, so R5C2 and R5C3 must both be moons.
