11.7 is up to (at least) 35c - ........1..1.23.....2.45...........6.178...9.96.2..87.....8.7.9.89...21.7......6.

I haven't run a full check in a while, so maybe some other improvements when I do.

Ran a check on the 11.6+ puzzles; 11.6 is a new result (11.7 and 11.8 match my last two posts), I've also included puzzle counts and range of clue counts for minimals.

11.9 - 23c (5; 22-23c minimals)
11.8 - 32c (4; 29-30c minimals)
11.7 - 35c (303; 26-29c minimals)
11.6 - 37c (77; 27-30c minimals)

Some of the minimals for 11.7 and 11.6 were first found by hendrik_monard.

11.9 - 30c (see hardest thread; 26c-27c minimals, but only one rates at 11.9 with gsf minlex form, the others are 11.8 - haven’t checked yet if there is some uniqueness difference or if it’s just pruning differently)

Per hardest thread, 11.8 is now up to 34c (64 minimals all 27c-28c)

Per hardest thread, 11.7 is now up to 38c... haven't found an 11.6 38c but probably only a matter of time.

11.6 is now up to 39c:

Code: Select all

.....1..2.12....3.4.5..3.61...17265....895.1..51634....435..12.1.6...3.552.31..46  ED=11.6/11.6/3.4
.....1..2.12....3.4.5..3.61...17265....895.1..51634....235..14.1.6...3.554.31..26  ED=11.6/11.6/3.4

Same puzzle apart from a swap among 24r79c28.

11.7 also up to 39c (see hardest thread)

11.1 is up to 40c, for example:

Code: Select all

.......12..3.124.5.124.536..36251...17....25.528...13.2....6.433...4.62.6...235.1

I have 16 of them currently in the te3 db.
