By coloring the cells, and with some clever logic, we can color all the cells. Finally, the corresponding values of each color are obtained through the proportional relationship between the colors. Not very easy, but enjoyable.
@Leonard Hal, Thanks for trying puzzle and I am glad you enjoyed it! Yes, you captured the gist of the solution approach :-)

So now: More than 3 hours Bifurcation. I'll give up!
I hope, Simon will solve this puzzle on CTC...

Very nice, not that hard.
@Tilberg, Thanks for trying the puzzle and the feedback :-) Indeed, I do feel that it should not be hard, but testing has shown some variance. Some people could not solve it and some could. So I decided to put it at 5, as a precaution.
@tenaliraman: Thanks. Maybe I just got lucky, because the second or third thing I tried showed some surprising results, and from there I just kept going ... :-)
@Tilberg, as characters from manhwa's would say, luck is also part of the skillset :-)
