LinkedIn Tango #573 Answer & Analysis

Begin with the original moons at R2C2, R2C6, R5C1, and R5C5. Then apply the immediate edge clues: R1C5 must match R1C6, R1C3 must match R2C3, R4C1 must oppose R4C2, and the bottom-row cross links will later force the final two rows to separate cleanly.

Once the top-row Equal clue and the first-column Cross clue are combined with the 3-Sun/3-Moon row rule, the first two rows settle into their final pattern. The row balance also prevents any three identical symbols from forming in a row.

The Equal pair in row 3 and the Cross pair in row 4 remove most remaining ambiguity. After the first two rows are fixed, the column counts force the center of the board into the unique arrangement shown in the final answer.

The paired Cross clues in rows 5 and 6 are especially helpful. They lock the bottom two rows into opposite placements at the linked positions, and the fixed moons at R5C1 and R5C5 keep the whole area consistent with column balance.

At this point the board is fully determined. Every row has exactly 3 Suns and 3 Moons, every column also has 3 Suns and 3 Moons, and no row or column contains three identical symbols in a row. The Equal and Cross clues all match the final arrangement, confirming the unique LinkedIn Tango answer.
