No surprise either that it came from Joêl

Just to remind everybody not to discard all the puzzles in their cache .... The Patterns game increased the numbers of some the rarest types of puzzles. It should be easy for players here to be part of that process.

You can dump ALL puzzles with ER=5.2 (Jellyfish) in The pure jellyfish thread at http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/a-pure-jellyfish-collection-t5776.html

You can also dump All puzzles with ER=3.8 (Swordfish) in The pure swordfish thread at http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/a-pure-swordfish-collection-t5775.html

Another rare technique that the SE isolates in a a very stable format is the Hidden Quad (ER=5.4). It would be a good idea to keep holding to those puzzles or dump them in the Superior Plus thread at http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/superior-plus-puzzles-t4414.html.

This is to make it easier for Players interested in such techniques to find them in one place.

Thanks.

Tarek

P.S. does anyone have a list of SE ratings (ER) sorted according to number of puzzles submitted to the Patterns game? (I'm interested in the ER<6.6 range). As there is only one puzzle with ER=EP=ED allowed per rating .... An (ED) rarity count may reflect those rare techniques more accurately .

I do (with maybe just a few omissions). But it's 4000 lines long. If you PM me your e-mail address, I'll forward it to you.
