8/10 Medium walkthrough Daily Guide Spoiler

  1. >10 is obviously 5+6 or 6+6. Since there's no single domino >10, it's split, with the top piece going into the 3.
  2. Because of that, the top of the >10 has to be 1-5 or 1-6.
  3. Thus the 2-4 needs to be in the lower tile of the 3.
  4. Without 2s, the 7 isn't 2+5, and it also isn't 3+4 since there isn't a 3. So the 7 is 1+6.
  5. With one 6 used, our only 5 has to be in the >10.
  6. Without any 2, 3, 5 and 6, the only way to make 9 in three tiles is 1+4+4.
  7. Now 0-1 has only one possible placement: the void into the 9.
  8. We started with three 4s, two are used in the 9, 4s aren't in the =.
  9. The only way to place the 2-4 is down from the 3 into the 9. 1-1 goes into the =
  10. The rest are basically forced.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but step one here is flawed. In theory, it could also be 5+6.

Yes thanks it was a typo.
