1.........2........46...798...7...45....6.8.7.....496.....8957...95.76.4..764..89 ED=10.5/10.5/2.6

taking your puzzle as seed i found these:
Code: Select all

You're a hard taskmaster. Here are some other finds along the way:
Code: Select all
1.........2........34...567...5...74....8.6.5.....783.....6845...84.37.6..675..83   ED=11.4/11.2/2.6
1.........2........34...567...5...46....8.3.5.....487.....4763...36.57.8..683..54   ED=11.5/11.5/2.6
1.........2........34...567...5...74....8.6.5.....483.....4378...38.54.6..876..53   ED=11.6/11.2/2.6
1.........2........34...567...5...74....8.6.5.....738.....7384...38.57.6..846..53   ED=11.8/11.8/2.6


These 11.x/11.x/2.6 ratings are all rarity 0.

yes those are all good... the reward will be inherent :D
i was hoping that an exaustive search could be done, with 2 clues in box 1 and only six other clues in Box2-box9.
All the ED > 11.1 seem to have this...
There are several other patterns with different orientations of box 1 and box 5 ... but my search of those strangely didnt give many over 11.1 ...

Exhaustive? I have hundreds of 10+ pearls waiting for SE to rate them! I could generate thousands more. M

Another what? Pattern, puzzle? I looked at the symmetric pattern obtained by moving one clue, and found this staight off:
Code: Select all
 1 . . . . . . . .
 . 2 3 . . . . . .
 . 4 5 . . . . 6 7
 . . . 8 . . . 3 5
 . . . . 4 . 8 . 6
 . . . . . 3 4 7 .
 . . . . 3 8 7 5 .
 . . 8 4 . 7 6 . 3
 . . 7 5 6 . . 4 8   ED=10.6/10.6/9.1
,
but I'm away for a while.

Here are the 2 11.9s [including yours] originally from here
Code: Select all
1.........2........59...647...8...65....7.8.4.....697.....8975...85.74.6..564..89 # 95271 FNBP C30/M2.21.624##11.9/11.9/2.6
1.........2........59...647...8...65....9.8.4.....679.....8957...85.74.6..564..89 # 95118 FNBP C30/M2.20.656##11.9/11.9/2.6

the symmetrical pattern - these were the best
Code: Select all
1.........26.......47....58...8...35....4.8.6.....347.....3756...54.87.3..356..84  ED=11.3/11.3/9.0
1.........26........7....58...8...35....4.8.6.....347.....3756...54.87.3..356..84  ED=11.4/11.4/9.1

1.........25.......87....56...8...95....4.6.8.....947.....9876...84.75.9..956..84  ED=11.2/1.2/1.2
1.........25.......87....56...8...95....4.6.8.....947.....9876....4.75.9..956..84  ED=11.7/11.7/9.0  [WH]

I have posted the 11.7 as WH in the puzzles thread for the solvers ... :D

This pattern seems to have no hard puzzles.
Am I wrong?
Code: Select all
..........16......4..7..59.2...83..46.......19..64...8.32..8..6......73.......... ED=4.5/2.0/2.0
..........16......4..7..95.2...83..46.......19..64...8.32..8..6......37.......... ED=4.5/2.0/2.0
