kazuGuessDepthfunction
How many guesses, each followed by everything reasoning then finds, a person needs to finish the puzzle: 0 when reasoning alone finishes it (easy), 1 when one guess does (medium), more when more (hard); Infinity when there is no answer. Null for givens that are not a puzzle. Meant for a puzzle already known to have exactly one answer.
