### Catalogue

The catalogue contains all kinds of data, among which video title, length, puzzle types, constraint types, host, solver, setter, source and collection information.
The catalogue can be used to find information and statistics about puzzles released on the channel, and to find puzzles with any type of constraint, by any particular setter or from any particular collection.

Meet the Parents

***Meet the Parents*** is a 2000 American comedy film written by Jim Herzfeld and John Hamburg and directed by Jay Roach. Starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller, it chronicles a series of unfortunate events that befall a good-hearted but hapless nurse while visiting his girlfriend's parents. Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, and Owen Wilson also star.

The film is a remake of a 1992 film of the same name directed by Greg Glienna and produced by Jim Vincent. Glienna—who also played the original one's main protagonist—and Mary Ruth Clarke cowrote the screenplay. Universal Pictures purchased the rights to Glienna's film with the intent of creating a new version. Jim Herzfeld expanded the original script but development was halted for some time. Jay Roach read the expanded script and expressed his desire to direct it but Universal declined him. At that time, Steven Spielberg was interested in doing so while Jim Carrey was interested in playing the lead role. The studio only offered the film to Roach once Spielberg and Carrey left the project.

Released in the United States and Canada on October 6, 2000 and distributed by Universal Pictures, the film earned back its initial budget of $55 million in only eleven days. It went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2000, earning over $160 million in North America and over $330 million worldwide. It was well received by film critics and viewers alike, winning several awards and earning additional nominations. Ben Stiller won two comedy awards for his performance and the film was chosen as the Favorite Comedy Motion Picture at the 2001 People's Choice Awards. The success of the film inspired two sequels, namely *Meet the Fockers* and *Little Fockers* released in 2004 and 2010, respectively. It also inspired a reality television show titled *Meet My Folks* and a situation comedy titled *In-Laws*, both of them debuting on NBC in 2002.

Set Equivalence Theory

**Set Equivalence Theory (SET)** is an application of Sudoku that establishes an equivalence relationship between cells in different regions of a Sudoku grid. Some of the most common examples of Set Equivalence Theory include the Phistomefel Ring and Aad van de Wetering's Tetro Trick.

Set Equivalence Theory is a very useful technique in sudoku variant puzzles. It is often used for balancing sums with arrows and killer cages. Other ways SET can be useful is to make finding x-wings, swordfishes, and jellyfishes easier, as well as finding franken-fishes and mutant-fishes.

## Examples
