@Quarterthru First of all, thank you for the puzzle. I enjoyed the logical path all the way. Second i can't agree more with you regarding the rating system. I think many wonderful puzzles are rated poorly just because they are easy to solve.

@cam Thanks. I often wonder about the rating system myself. To me the difficulty is self-explanatory, the second one should be based on how smooth the logical path was and how enjoyable the solve was in general. I've seen some really nice puzzles that are "easy" but very nice logically, yet they have a terrible rating and I think that is a shame to see.

This got a lot harder toward the end, but was like butter. It was a great example of how to set a puzzle. I sometimes wonder if the people on this website even like sudoku. Very well done. I hope you consider making more puzzles like this in the future despite the low rating.

@GD20 Thank you for your feedback, this wasn't meant to be difficult. This type of variant seems to be difficult all the time. I wanted to make one that would be fun and easy and quick for an experienced solver, yet manageable for someone like yourself.

thank you so much for this little killer! I am having trouble with this type of variant so it's nice to practice with an easier puzzle.
