Paquita has been the second main supplier of the potential hardest data base with 944585 puzzles out of 3103972 in my last status.
Having seen recently all results coming out of the “expand” process, I thought (may be true) that this was the secret process applied years ago to find so many new potentials hardest.
Anyway, I was curious to see what was in this new delivery.
I picked up 5242 puzzles.
After cleaning of the redundancy, I find 5182 ED puzzles.
I rated the ED morph and found the skfr distribution
- Code: Select all

113 1
115 106
116 2680
117 2161
118 223
119 1
So, to make it simple, all the puzzles are rating skfr >= 11.5. Likely the 11 missing have a UR pattern
All puzzles seem to have a tridagon threat, with a suspicion to be derived from mith’s file.
This pushed me to look for a link to mith’s file and yes 1232 puzzles are in solution grids of mith’s file.

4639896841 114

1232
I then wanted to test my new vicinity search on this file.
The rating is not over, but I noticed that some puzzles in paquita’s file are not minimal.
This came from the 11.9 of my skfr rating
As shown in the results of my vicinity, one clue is redundant
- Code: Select all
......7.9.......3..89.....62...68..4.649.2..189.14.....186.4...64..2....9.281....;119; 898031988;05G6CckS3kO2T0
......7.9.......3..89.....62...68..4.649.2..189.1......186.4...64..2....9.281.... ED=11.9/1.2/1.2
I’ll have more to say at the end of the rating of the new puzzles, but I already have 12000 puzzles rating skfr >= 11.5
I did not go back to catch puzzles posted by coloin, but I remember to have seen similar new puzzles
