Fantastic solve! A couple of twists that caught me up, but thinking hard about the 19 and 10 cages really brought it all around!

@DVFrank: Thanks! I'm pleased you enjoyed the solve :-)
@Filuta: The last few had much harder break-ins, so I'm pleased this one was easier to find and that it went reasonably smoothly afterwards. :-)

I already failed to solve two killers by you, but this one went pretty smoothly up until the very end where I got stuck on the last trick (but luckily found it in the end and then felt quite embarrassed). Really well constructed. Thanks.

Thank you all for the lovely and kind feedback! I'm really pleased you all enjoyed the logic in the killer sudoku. It is worth mentioning that I'm grateful to the testers of the earlier versions on Discord, for inspiring me to make this smoother and cleaner version. :-)
