::: comment :::

Would anybody support the idea of ED=x/(x-0.1)/(x-0.2) trumping ED=x/x/x ?

For example: 9.9/9.8/9.7 is the only combination that can trump 9.9/9.9/9.9

IMO this will add some spice to the game & they are more difficult to generate.

x/x/x is obviously difficult to be trumped in some instances like x=8.2 & impossible in others like x=2.3

No,

The only valid example I have at hand from this game is

Code: Select all: . . 9|. . .|1 . . . 8 .|2 . 9|. 4 . 4 . .|. . .|. . 5 -----+-----+----- . 2 .|8 . 5|. 6 . . . .|. . .|. . . . 3 .|9 . 4|. 5 . -----+-----+----- 3 . .|. . .|. . 7 . 7 .|6 . 2|. 1 . . . 5|. . .|8 . . ED=7.3/7.2/7.1

The following are CLOSE examples from my personal collection

Code: Select all: Pearly6000-2527 . . .|6 . .|. . 4 . 7 .|. 2 .|. 6 . . . 5|. . .|8 . . -----+-----+----- . 9 .|1 . 2|. . . . . .|. 3 .|9 . . . . .|. . 7|. 1 . -----+-----+----- . . 8|. . .|6 . . . 2 .|. 1 6|. 7 . 4 . .|. . .|. . 5 ED=9.7/9.6/9.3 Pearly6000-1397 . . 3|. . .|4 . . . 2 .|. . 1|. 7 . 5 . .|. . .|. . 8 -----+-----+----- . . .|8 . 2|. 6 . . . .|. . 6|. . . . 6 .|9 7 .|. . . -----+-----+----- 8 . .|. . .|. . 5 . 7 .|2 . .|. 1 . . 5 4|1 . .|3 . . ED=9.6/9.4/9.3
