Public bug reported:

I only play the "very hard" games, but some are actually quite easy.
I'm attaching a screen shot of one, with all hints shown.  You should
notice that there are already 2 boxes solved on row 3, and if you play
through, you'll always find one or more such boxes at every step of the
way.  This is not hard at all; it's mere bookkeeping. Of course, some
are truly hard.  Your algorithms should do a better job of telling which
is which.
