With SukakuExplainer 1.17.7 I get, renumbered:
Code: Select all
...123.....4...3...2.....5.4.......56.......72.......3.1...4.3...6...5.....685.7.   ED=9.2/7.1/2.9

My version of SukakuExplainer appears to have issues with BUGs - I dont have time to look further into this right now, maybe later.

To rate the puzzles, start the GUI and use Options -> Solving techniques... to disable 'Bivalue Universal Grave' technique and exit GUI, then serate using the '-T' option, e.g.
Code: Select all
... serate puzzles.txt -X -T

Sukaku Explainer 2023.3.10

Postby 1to9only » Fri Mar 10, 2023 9:29 am

The Bivalue Universal Grave problem is fixed.
An updated SE (2023.3.10) can be downloaded from here: https://wormhole.app/bkpe8#Z3OQgCXD6oTaLROkln9PPA for the next 24 hours.
I'll update github and do a proper release some time later.
