10 givens, 2 equals and 4 crosses: that's Tango #716. Each row and column needs exactly 3 suns and 3 moons, and three alike can never touch in a line. The first forced cell is row 1, column 3.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Row 1, column 3 must be a sun: two moons sit side by side in row 1, and three alike in a row is not allowed.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Next, row 2, column 3 must be a moon: the × sign ties it to the sun at row 1, column 3.
Hint 3: nearly there
Then row 2, column 2 must be a sun: two moons sit side by side in row 2, and three alike in a row is not allowed. The same rules carry on from there. Where they stall, look ahead: if a sun in a square, followed by everything the rules then force, breaks a rule, that square is a moon, and the other way round.
