Hi,
dobrichev!
I confirm that your last posted UA sets are 2-valent strongly minimal UA61 set (1 set) and 2-valent strongly minimal UA62 sets (2 sets). Great!
62 is the largest UA sets size now.
Puzzles "Kite A" and "Kite B", producing the same UA61 set, are twins, i.e. they can be transformed to each other by simple UA6 transformation. (See example below.)

It is interesting that almost all diagonal symmetric clues of puzzles "Kite A" and "Kite B" have the same values (cells r2c4 and r4c2 are exceptions).

I don't see 4 UA62, but 2 UA62 only. What do you mean?

[Edited: I deleted my silly question about diagonal symmetric valid puzzles having the same values in the symmetric clue cells. Sorry.]
