the nice thing about the Patterns Game is,
we get a wide range of difficulties -- something for everyone.

and surely the players are happy when they manage to get a large number of different ratings
-- e.g. 62 ratings found in game #45

Code: Select all: . . X X . . . . . . X . . . X X . . X . . . . . . X . X . . X . . . X . . . . . . . . . . . X . . . X . . X . X . . . . . . X . . X X . . . X . . . . . . X X . .

yet the question is,
is it my job as dealer to offer such an un-challenging clue-pattern?

or would i be a better dealer if i offer a more challenging clue-pattern
-- e.g. only 45 ratings found in game #49

Code: Select all: . . . . . . X X . . . . X X . . . . . . X . . . X X . . X . . . . . . X . X . . X . . . X . . . . . X . . . X . X . . . X . . X . X . . . . . . . . . X X . . . .

every 2 clues sharing a box never share a row or a column
