Conclusion: as of now, in addition to Loki (and its equivalent 11.8 form), there are two 11.8 puzzles not in T&E(2):
........1.....2.......3..45.16.23...27.8.61..3.871.6...32.68..718..7....6.7...... 29c not in T&E(2)
........1.....2.34.35.......62......7.3.25..885...67...7853....32..68...5.62.7.8. 30c not in T&E(2)
These two are not minimal. As I understood it, they are an expansion of the group of puzzles on the following lines.
The first relates to Loki and friend(s), and the second to two other puzzles from mith with respectively 26c and 27c.
It is interesting to observe that in the last case the puzzles are in T&E(2) but the expansion is not. I interpret this as an indication that a higher number of clues can cause a higher ranking, even if the 'puzzle' is not minimal. Of course one has to be careful with results obtained for non minimals.
Hi Hendrik,
I know these two are not minimal.
In my treatment of series 3, as I explained, I checked only the 74 expansions (not the 146 puzzles).
Who said the puzzles with any of these two expansions are in T&E(2)? Obviously, they can't be. I don't need to make any computations for stating this:
- adding clues can't in any way increase any of my ratings/classifications;
- T&E(n) and all of these classification results are totally unrelated to minimality.
