    Indeed, in this cyclic calendar system (which we as a race seem to choose to acknowledge for now ) it is not as I suggested - as the cycle length(400) is not divisible by the number of weekdays(7). I did not see that . I got a different distribution of weekday possibilities for 27th Nov after checking (Monday 56,58,57,57,58,56,58) but the fact remains.

    No, you're right. On average no day of the week is more "expected" to be 27th of November. So it is Thursday 27th in 1/7 years for an infinite amount of years. However, for humans (let's say a 100 years life expectancy) what you actually see is a different "rule": Thanksgiving is 27th November once every 6 years with a couple of big gaps as exceptions e.g. between 2014 - 2025.

    ) 30x30 clearly discourages pen & paper ... since the invention of computers (Before that people actually try to compute more than 600 decimals for PI) Regarding difficulty, it branches off pretty quickly for 5 houses in a row. Aranging the houses in a circle, this strategy would work harder. But this should also prove to be more difficult for you to ensure an unique solution. Also, branching was easier because hints came in the first row. E.g. Green/Lance/Pink. You could try maximizing the interval between clues of the same type. e.g. giving a clue about color, zord, weapon, power and then color again. But most of all, thank you for bolding the clues. That made the whole pen&paper experience much easier
