In the tridagon thread (http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/the-tridagon-rule-t39859-120.html),
I analysed the last collections of T&E(2) puzzles published by Paquita:
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/the-hardest-sudokus-new-thread-t6539-1644.html
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/the-hardest-sudokus-new-thread-t6539-1648.html
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/the-hardest-sudokus-new-thread-t6539-1650.html

and I remarked that they have:
- unusually high proportions of non-degenerate tridagons (resp. 97.01%, 99.97% and 100%);
- unusually high proportions of puzzles in B6B;
- no puzzle in B7B.


Let me add to the above collections, the one published by Hendrik Monhard:
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/the-hardest-sudokus-new-thread-t6539-1628.html
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LxrL5R5vmYqj6f7FBEmPL5ot7OZY1pXH/view?usp=drive_link
It contains 55,088 puzzles, 46,079 of which are in T&E(2), the rest in T&E(3).
The puzzles in T&E(3) all have a non-degenerate tridagon pattern and they are all in B2BB=T&E(B2, 2), same as all the known T&E(3) puzzles.


Let's therefore concentrate on the T&E(2) sublist. This is where the main news are.

First big news is, it has 77 puzzles in B7B. (Until now, we knew only 10 different ones.)

Second big news is, it has puzzles beyond B7B. Indeed, it has 15 puzzles in B9B and 1 in B10B and they don't even have the highest SER.

In the same way as I couldn't believe my eyes when I found that Loki was not in T&E(2), I couldn't believe that these puzzles were not in B7B or lower and that they were not even in B8B. But all the checks I made lead to the conclusion that the results are correct.

Notice however that all these puzzles have a non-degenrate tridagon and they can be easily solved with short chains and Trid-ORk-chains when it is used (except 4 of the 77 B7B ones that require longer chains).


Note that all these results where made possible by the SHC:
(http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/the-sudoku-hierarchical-classifier-shc-t42075.html).
Without it, the computations could be done by SudoRules, but they would take so much more time as to become impractical.

Hi Denis Thank you for your program and I have used it on the puzzles I generated over the past couple of months....

Firstly ... I have expanded my minimal puzzles further than mini-expanding with singles, and its possible to get a maxi-expand to "pearl"

Your 16 puzzles with B9B and above originate from 8 solution grids, and here are the maxi-expands
Code: Select all
98.76.5..7.48.5....56..9...56..87.4.4.89.6....7945......7..........9...3....7.2.1 ED=11.6/11.6/6.6
987......6.....8.....85.....4.3.521....42..58....184.34.2.831.....54.32....1.2.84 ED=11.6/11.6/2.6

These minimize to 50 minimal puzzles all presumably with same rating

Here are the puzzles that I found in T&E(2) greater than B6B. They are in minlexsolution grid format as this is easier to work with and visualise differences.
Code: Select all

These too have many less minimal puzzles than the rest of my collection of maxi-expands

Hi Coloin
Great work.

Do you mean SudoRules? If you mean SHC, it's François's program.


coloin wrote:Firstly ... I have expanded my minimal puzzles further than mini-expanding with singles, and its possible to get a maxi-expand to "pearl"

I'm not sure what you mean by "maxi-expand to "pearl"".
With mith, we understand min-expand as expansion by Singles and max-expand as further addition of candidates until adding more would make the puzzle loose one depth of T&E. [Indeed, we considered only the case of a puzzle in T&E(3), but I think this is the right definition of max-expand in the general case.]

coloin wrote:Your 16 puzzles with B9B and above originate from 8 solution grids, and here are the maxi-expands

There's no reason for all the minimals of an expansion to have the same rating (be it SER or BpB).
Indeed the puzzle with only 1 minimal is the original puzzle with BpB = 10 - still the only known one with such a high BpB classif as of now.
The other 49 puzzles have BpB = 9, which drastically increases the number of known minimal puzzles with BpB = 9.


coloin wrote:Here are the puzzles that I found in T&E(2) greater than B6B. They are in minlexsolution grid format as this is easier to work with and visualise differences.
...
These too have many less minimal puzzles than the rest of my collection of maxi-expands

The first 78 puzzles are in B7B and the last 6 in B8B, which provides the first 6 examples of minimal puzzles in B8B.


[Edit]: all the puzzles in the list of 50 and in the list of 84 have a non-degenerate tridagon pattern with few guardians.
All of them can be solved with short ORk-chains based on this pattern, except the last 6 ones in the list of 84 (the 6 B8B puzzles), that require longer chains.

Thanks Denis for providing me with Francois's program i should have said !

I expanded the puzzles so that the overal SE rating was unchanged up to the limit when ED rating [ER/EP/ED] where ER=EP. P in this case stands for Pearl.

coloin wrote: ....These minimize to 50 minimal puzzles all presumably with same rating

perhaps I also should have said presumably with at least this BpB rating ... as SE does have a flaw whereby adding a clue increases the rating / removing a clue reduces the rating. I understand this annoying situation does not occur with your program :D !!!

OK, thanks for the clarifications.

I think expansion can usefully be extended much beyond (indeed to the point of reaching the limit of T&E(1)), in order to find more puzzles with large BpB classif.

coloin wrote: ... as SE does have a flaw whereby adding a clue increases the rating / removing a clue reduces the rating. I understand this annoying situation does not occur with your program :D !!!

I confirm. This is totally impossible with T&E-depth and the B, BpB or BpBB classifications and other SER problems such as dependence on isomorphisms are also impossible.

BpB 10 puzzles

Postby coloin » Wed Nov 15, 2023 12:17 pm

The invert of the BpB has 18 solutions, and so there are 18 similar maxi-expands in BpB 10.
All 23 resulting minimal puzzles will probably have the same solution path and are BpB 10 too.

I wouldn't use the word "invert" to mean the complementary givens of a 1-solution grid.
What about "similar"? Do you mean isomorphic?

The invert was coined by dobrichev and yes it is the complement of the givens !
as the command to do this is
gridcheckernew --similar --invert . < file.txt > fileinvert.txt

but i should have said that the pattern of the 18 maxi-expands is similar / the same.

They are all individually different - but have the same solution. I imagine we have many ? twin puzzles which share a UA in the givens

Hi Coloin
The complement of the givens of P always has a solution, but it may not be unique. If it is unique, it has a certain number of minimals and the complement of each of them is obviously an extension of P. I don't know in what precise sense it can be considered a "max" extension.
Anyway, any of these extensions of P can generate minimals. But there's no a priori complexity relation between them and P.

However, in your example, it is true that the 23 minimals are in B10B - which is a large extension of the number of known puzzles in B10B (only one until now).

Hi Denis,
I checked the list of 23 minimals of coloin and discovered that 5 of them are isomorphs of 5 puzzles I posted in May 2023 which were also in the list of 50k puzzles you examined recently. They were however not in the list of 92 puzzles with BpB > 6.
Apparently, for those 5 puzzles the BpB ranking was not done. Is it possible that in my list of 50k puzzles there are other puzzles with BpB > 6 not (yet) identified ?
In the following list, each pair contains the puzzle from coloin's list followed by the maxlex isomorph I posted in May 2023

Hi Hendrik,

The 10 puzzles are indeed in B10B.

hendrik_monard wrote:[ Is it possible that in my list of 50k puzzles there are other puzzles with BpB > 6 not (yet) identified ?

Quick answer: yes.

I've just checked the BpB file for your 50k puzzles: it contains negative values, which means the default buffer-size was too small. These computations were done before we decided with François to increase the default values of several parameters (precisely after I found puzzles in your file with BpB = 9 or 10). One can say that puzzles with negative BpB values have not really been submitted to the classification.
I should have checked that there were no negative values, but I forgot to do it.
I have long calculations running, but they should end soon and I'll relaunch the calculations for your puzzles next week with the new default parameters.

One can say that puzzles with negative BpB values have not really been submitted to the classification.
I should have checked that there were no negative values, but I forgot to do it.


We decided to introduce an explicit message at the end of computations for files, so that not noticing negative values shouldn't happen again.

After redoing the calculations:

The new 77 B7B puzzles are unchanged:

All these puzzles have a non-degenerate tridagon pattern.

[Edit 2023 Nov. 29]: fix the B8B, B9B and B10B lists. In the original post, the numbers of puzzles were correct but the puzzles with these BpB values weren't correctly extracted from the full lists of puzzles. Thanks to Coloin for noticing a problem with the previous B10B list.

Re: The BpB classification of T&E(2) puzzles

Postby hendrik_monard » Mon Dec 25, 2023 2:18 pm

I am examining if there could be a role for SHC in my generating script(s). First, I am investigating the genealogy of my high BpB ranking puzzles, especially how the BpB evolves along the paths leading to these puzzles. On the path to one of them I came across this fine specimen:
987......6..8...........5...4.32..51...1.42.8....5834...32.581.....134.........2. B13B
Denis, could there be a bug in SHC, or is it a genuine B13B?
