A smooth solve indeed. The symmetry is great and the fact I did work on my triangular numbers helped here, even if not for long.

I had an assumption that I thought must be correct but I couldn't prove it, so I left it open. Later in the puzzle I found it was incorrect so I didn't need to backtrack!
Thanks!

● Glad you enjoy it and didn't have to backtrack it!

Lovely puzzle. It took me a while to discover the number that was forced in a cage, but overall a very fluid solving

● Thank you for doing it! I think I know what number you are talking about.

Very elegant puzzle. Made some faulty assumptions which took me literally hours to figure out, but when I did it flowed beautifully. Excellent logic.

● I'm glad you could solve it at the end ♡

● Thank you! I really like the logic in this one too.
