::: comment :::

that pattern seems to generate a small number of puzzles

not very exciting so far

that one could be the reason why Mike proposed that pattern
So far, I did not find ED exceeding 3.4

I got meantime the 11.8. I guess everybody will find the rare puzzles valid in that pattern

::: comment :::

No surprise, the 2 puzzles 11.8 and 11.6 are in the taxonomy file of gsf

the 11.8 found by Mike
the 11.6 found by strmckr

I guess they have been first published 4 to 5 years ago.
