Wonderful and fluent puzzle.
I actually don't think it's super hard, most 4 stars are much harder for me than this, here you just always have a way forward (which is good), even if a bit brute-forceish.
Definitely recommend it.

One of the best fiendish puzzles I've solved. Extraordinarily hard, yet there's always a way to get through (of course, one has to pull their hair out to see) and the fact that how they unlocked the entire puzzle was such a satisfying way to conclude for a cruel battle.

Great Puzzle!
As difficult as advertised, but very beautiful and satisfying.

I lucked out on this one and stumbled upon a nice break-in fairly quickly. It still took a long time to solve. Great puzzle.

Difficult, intricate, challenging, outstanding. It had me intrigued from the start and didn't let up. Amazing :)

Very nice!It's another wonderful classic case of algebra.

Couldn't agree more with the verdict "disgustingly difficult": took me more than 20 hours (I think - at some point I just lost count) over several days, a new personal record.
In hindsight, I slightly underestimated how constraining the thermos are. My tip for those who are still struggling: start goodliffing the thermos indiscriminately - you can thank me later.

Disgustingly difficult, but in the best way.
