.7....3......2...5.158.........1.8....3..6........3..972.4..........7.1..4..9..6. ED=7.1/7.1/2.6


[P.O.]

the first puzzle has this color distribution: (3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1)
the second and third have this one: (3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2)
for this last color distribution doing a search in the low range of templates the puzzles are found quickly but they are very easy:
