Wow, Paquita
That's an impressive number of new high BxB puzzles, including new B13Bs and B14Bs

All B10B. Somehow it seems that B10B is hardest. As you explained Denis, this may be due to more braids (not all with length 10) available in those puzzles. One might say that not just the length of braids but also the occurence of multiple braids makes a puzzle harder. Well, you said that you are not looking for the hardest. But an interesting fact anyhow.

Indeed an impressive list from paquita with 5222 new puzzles resulting in 114 new solutions. I'll add those to the database (same link as before) later today.

Any rating/classification based on the "hardest" step will face the same facts. I didn't check specifically for this short list, but SER times may not the longest for the highest SER values. (But SER mixes so many unrelated things that it's hard to make any predictions while my crystal ball is again on strike.)

Too good to be true!

The last batch had a lot of non-minimals. Skip it for now. I will give an update for the puzzles that are minimals later!

Denis,

Is it correct that an expanded puzzle has the same BxB as its minimals? If not, what is the relation?

No.
For any puzzle P in T&E(2), BRT-expand(P) has the same BxB as P (indeed has all the same classifs as P).

But for BRT-expand(P), its minimals P2 can only be (non-strictly) harder than P, i.e.:
- either in T&E(3)
- or in T&E(2) with BxB(P2) ≥ BxB(P)

That's all the point of expanding the minimals and re-minimalising the expansions. You can sometimes get harder ones.

There's a special case when you can say that the minimals of BRT-expand(P) have the same classif as P; it's when P is an isolated puzzle in the BRTinc topology. But this property is stronger than what you mention and harder to prove.

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

After Hendrik asked if a solution grid could have both T&E(3) and T&E(2) puzzles, some time ago, I compared the files of solution grids and Ifound a only a few cases where this happens.

As of today there are only 17 solution grids (not counting possible ones posterior to the Mastermins 1 to 15).
So, it's very rare.

This morning, I wondered whether they could have high BxB. For the 17 solution grids, there are 259 minimal puzzles in the Mastermins 1 to 15.
Their BxB distribution is as follows:
7 : 68
8 : 191

No (known) high BxB.

It seems there are 16 duplicates in your new list of solutions - because you forgot to put them all in solution-minlex form.

Hi Denis,
Indeed 16 solutions not in solminlex format. I adapted my script to exclude it for the future. I'll replace these solutions by their solminlex isomorph and deal with possible new duplicates with these solutions.
I also find 2 solution grids that were in a previous list but are now missing. I noticed it when i tried to update my list of solutions common with those for T&E(3).

Without the associated puzzles it is not possible to examine this issue. Do you still have a copy of the previous list that you refer to?

I haven't kept the original file, but I have the following two puzzles in a separate file. I'm not sure they correspond to what you need.

Code: Select all
98.76.5..7.5..4....46..89..6.759.....5.8.7.6...8.46.....4....93...4............21
987......6..8...........5...4.32..51...1.42.8....5834...32.581.....134.........2.

Here are the 17 common solutions grids I now have (not updated after the mastermins 1 to 15)

Hi Denis,

I tested the two puzzles and this was the result:

Code: Select all

987......6..8...........5...4.32..51...1.42.8....5834...32.581.....134.........2.   test   250918


The first one is B6B and the second one is an identical duplicate of a B13B puzzle that I published in 2023 (14th May)

BTW,are you sure that the following two solutions (consecutive in your list of 17 'common solutions') once appeared in my solutions lists?
Until now I didn't find a trace of them in my old lists.

Hi Hendrik
Good question. On second thoughts, I'm not so sure.
After constructing my own lists of solution grids starting from the mastermins 1 to 15, the only thing I can say is: the above 17 grids and only them are common with mith's last T&E(3) collection (also constructed directly from their minimals, given by Coloin's revised list).

Denis,
I am looking into braids. I have some questions

-the braids for BxB, do they include bivalue chains and whips?
-there is some order as you indicated in PBC, what goes first, a longer bivalue or a shorter braid? So what is the BxB number based on then?
-braids as oppposed to whips seem to have more than one assumption. I wonder if that is a relation between the T&E level and the number of assumptions in a braid? It seems right that T&E(2) corresponds to 2 assumptions.
