I'll be sitting in a train all day, so qiuyanzhe has plenty of time to play again,

336 comes from 323, twisting b5 to
make an entirely-different symmetry

[Pat]

9.1/9.1/9.1

comparing with game 323,
that's a high diamond !

(I used JSudoku and NPGenerator, I set the crucial givens, programs generate random puzzles, I check if the puzzle is minimal and satisfacory..)
And sorry for making a mess in this game..again.. I made something wrong about the "Lightning" rule, and now it's clear to me. Consecutive posts is forbidden to avoid someone pouring out too many puzzles at one time which ruins the game..
Also it amazed me that this puzzle is not trivial after the 12-pair in the beginning..
Now I am just making these puzzles in such a way, and I would only play during the beginning of the games currently.
It always take some time to get familiar with a new thing, isn't it?
