A {-5,+} pass over the latest 953 39s gave 0 new 39s and only 304 new 38s.

Finally I reduced the solver calls to 36 per puzzle and a batch of 70,000 37+ clue puzzles is processed down to 35 and up to valid minimal puzzles for about 4h 40m, which is about 4 times faster than the tools I used when the 40s appear.

Seems that the continental part is covered, along with Everest. Hawai have higher height from the bottom to top but still have less absolute altitude, suggesting that discovering more 40-clue minimal puzzles by neighbourhood search, even in islands, isn't very promising.

39s still continue to appear after more and more frequent seeding with 36s.

Hi Mladen,

Congratulations on the success of your speedup efforts (!), and great job as always, on the 39's front.

Here are a few 39's you don't have yet -- 26 of them.

I been running my (comparitively weak) process using your latest 39's as input, all along.
I usualy get a few new ones, and you usually hit them too, a short time later.
I run something even weaker on your 38's, altgough the last time it produced very little (if anything at all ?).

Anyway ... over time, a (very) short list that you might never hit, has been accumulating.

Some details:
When you were at 1582 39's and 922706 38's, from those I had 24 additional 39's.
When you went to 1681 39's, you hit 3 of the 24, and I got another 3 back.
This time (1800 39's), you hit 5 that I had (including the 3 recent ones), and I got another 7 back.
You'll likely hit those too. They're at the end of the list above.

Best Regards,
Blue.

Hi Blue,

Thanks for the input and congratulations for your findings. Glad to see that I am not alone in this search.

Assuming the main difference between our processes is your reduction of the clues in the non-minimal twins, do you have observations which part of the twin should be minimized - the permuted UA, the rest clues, or both?

Till now I involved only the twins of the discovered 36s in the process, hoping that they could bring faster to new regions. It looks that even that is true, it still can't cover your process.

None of your 26 new 39s aren't rediscovered yet by my process. There are 8 more 39s so far and within minutes I expect few more to appear.

Seems that the continental part is covered, along with Everest. Hawai have higher height from the bottom to top but still have less absolute altitude, suggesting that discovering more 40-clue minimal puzzles by neighbourhood search, even in islands, isn't very promising.,,,,

Indeed impressive work.

Like other searches in the past eg 17-puzzles, the analogy of search methods I feel is more akin to a fisherman with a trawler net in a completely enclosed scottish loch - there are approx 1e26 imortal fish / minimal puzzles. Most of the fish are irrelevant and are smaller than the very big ones we are trying to catch. The imortal static very large fish are distributed in shoals - but there are many solitary individuals on the surface and deep down. Your fishing methods vary from intense local searches with a big net to a wide scope trawl with many small nets at different depths. There will be some fish which just manage to evade the net. All fish are tagged and returned ! In the case of the 40-puzzles found - these massive fish were found pretty much lurking on their own !

I feel the more productive searches now are the wide scoped special net trawl - at least thats where i have found some more 9plus12s .....4 more / 147 total

However, the captain of the trawler will never know if he has tagged all the big fish .......

Entire 39s and 38s collections are updated in https://sites.google.com/site/dobrichev/sudoku-puzzle-collections. So far there are 2x40,1,910x39, 1,236,801x38, 151,177,400x37 and about 2e9x36.

@Coloin: I hope, unlike the fishes in the water, the puzzles aren't moving. We just see too many reflections and refractions of the fishes from the different perspectives. Also I hope no tags will be lost in time as it happened in former sudoku forum and now in programmers' forum.

The counters:
2 x 40
2,322 x 39
1,843,360 x 38
290,431,161 x 37
6,670,290,000 x 36

The number of 36s exeeded the number of grids, so most grids are expected to have a 36-given minimal puzzle.
Is this collection of 36s the largest systematic collection of sudoku puzzles ever done?
