Having played this puzzle for a couple of days, i finally discovered how to simplify the puzzle a lot: Only referring to 8x8... Generally the basic pattern is 4 x black. 3 x black may occur, but in this case there are only 16 solutions (5 when you exclude rotational variants), and these solutions are easily detectable: they all have contiguous diagonal rows across the entire board. So it is easy to spot, when any discontinuation occurs, and you can decide for pattern 4 x black at an early stage. 5 x black ist the mirror-inverted situation of 3 x black. Less than 3 x black (or more than 5 x black) are prohibited by the rules. This discovery makes it quite simple to solve.

I also like this new Binairo puzzle.
I'd like to see the game state stored so that you can continue a game after navigating away to a different page (as you do with the Sudoku puzzles).

I really like your new Binarios!!!
Something I'd love to see in level 3 binarios is that it should be mandatory to take into account that all rows and coloums need to be different. Often times I don't even need the "+" and "=" symbols because of this rule/aspect.
Keep up the great work!! Michael
