::: comment :::
In the range 11.x : the 11.0 is missing, I've found 5 of them
My questions are now :
- are there puzzles with rating >11.3 ?
- are there puzzles in the range >10.8 with ep/ed > 1.2/1.2
- are there puzzles with 10.9 ?
In the selection of this pattern I could not answer Yes to these question ! I made a 16 hours generation : that's not deep enough : champagne you shoiuld help !

For this game, as there are very few diamonds, the real challenge is to guess for each ER what is the rating that cannot be trumped !

200e200w : beware ! your 9.6, 9.8 and 10.4 can be trumped !

When I selected this pattern, I found 28 11.x ... and the highest rating was 11.3/1.2/1.2 (5 puzzles - non isomorph)

I reached 28 as well some hours ago with no sign recently of possible new 11.x

the 28 have in canonical form the same first 6 clues.
