Nice one

as it turns out - out of all the many millions of B1245 [4-boxes] [2802 classes also ?] I have only found 44 ED which solve with 2 clues
It was only necessary to examine one each of the 2802 classes of B36789

[EDIT - this figure is 2865] Not having access to this file [ but see below] I randomly selected 10000 [39 obtained] and 50000 B36789 [44 obtained] and added 2 clues

4 have the 2 clues in diagonal boxes, and these 2 clues are dissimilar

Hi!
I 've done exhaustive search for puzzles, containing the same digit in one-clue boxes B1, B2, B4, B5:
Code: Select all
+-----+-----+-----+
|. . .|. . .|x x x|
|. . .|. . 1|x x x|
|. . 1|. . .|x x x|
+-----+-----+-----+
|. . .|. . .|x x x|
|. . .|. 1 .|x x x|
|. 1 .|. . .|x x x|
+-----+-----+-----+
|x x x|x x x|x x x|
|x x x|x x x|x x x|
|x x x|x x x|x x x|
+-----+-----+-----+

Such puzzles don't exist.

Hi Serg,
Thank you for this confirmation.
Can you also confirm that the minimum number of solutions is 4?

Very good Serg.

Delving back into the archives, im struggling to find blue's calculation of the ED B12347 and B5689... will find it soon

However I have found this snippit from here
dukuso wrote:The correct sum of 6670903752021072936960 was obtained,
so it should be correct this time, correcting the earlier calculation
with 2802 classes.

A file with one B2347 puzzle (B1 is forced) from each class is at
http://magictour.free.fr/2865.gz


The file of 2865 [not 2802] "similar tuple" B12347 is still available there

Maybe this can be used to prove that minimum solution count is 4

Adding 2 clues to the 2865 gave these 64 puzzles

Hi, JPF!
JPF wrote:Can you also confirm that the minimum number of solutions is 4?

Now I've done exhaustive search and can confirm, that minimum number of solutions for puzzles with the same digit in one-clue boxes B1245 - 4.

Really I counted completions, not puzzles, having boxes B1245 (partially) filled and empty boxes B36789. Each such completion produces a family of required puzzles (having B1245 boxes with 1 clue (the same digit placed in each box) and filled (9 clues) B36789 boxes).

[Edited. I've deleted distribution "Number of solutions"/"Number of completions" with wrong numbers of completions and add some comment.]

Excellent! even if I don't understand what the number 72 represents.

I had gotten over 15,000 ed 4-sols-puzzles without extensive research. Hence my question...
The exact number may be interesting, the list less.

using the list of 2865 add the 2 digits [1-9] in 2 diagonal boxes and you will have your answer !!

Hi, JPF!

More accurate search got 137 ED completions, having B1245 boxes filled by 8 clues (the same digits in the each box are absent). An example of such completion:
Code: Select all
+-----+-----+-----+
|1 2 3|4 5 7|. . .|
|4 5 6|2 8 .|. . .|
|7 8 .|3 1 6|. . .|
+-----+-----+-----+
|3 4 8|5 . 1|. . .|
|5 6 1|7 4 2|. . .|
|2 . 7|6 3 8|. . .|
+-----+-----+-----+
|. . .|. . .|. . .|
|. . .|. . .|. . .|
|. . .|. . .|. . .|
+-----+-----+-----+

The same in line form:
Code: Select all
123457...45628....78.316...3485.1...561742...2.7638..............................

These 137 completions produce 57224 ED 4-solution puzzles having 4 clues in B1245 boxes (each box contains the same digit) and boxes B36789 filled by 9 clues each.
