My screenshot says I solved this 5 Aug 2022 - must be some kind of record between solving and rating...

This is definitely a puzzle you earned your right to rate. I hope you enjoyed it, even though you're now terrified of doughnuts!!

the solution check in ctc *with* highlighting also doesn't seem to work.

Challenging but fun. I seem to be getting addicted to your puzzles; thanks, @ XeonRisq :).

Your support is much appreciated, and I'm thrilled you are enjoying my puzzles, but be careful some of them are doozies!! I have to admit, this one cause much anguish to some of my testers..

Thanks, enjoyed this one. A tough nut to crack for me, and no idea whether I followed the intended solve path, but every breakthrough was very satisfying.

Glad you enjoyed the puzzle. I think there is some flexibility in the solve path, but certain deductions must be made at some point to make progress, which is probably the breakthroughs you are referring to.

Great puzzle, thank you! Unfortunately the solution check in CTC (without highlighting) calls the solution wrong, which took me a long time to investigate. In the end I tried the solution code anyway only to find out it was right after all.

Thanks for the solve and feedback. Glad it was fun, and I'll take a look at the link without highlighting and get it straightened out, appreciate you letting me know!!

For some reason, when I removed the highlighting to get the links, f-puzzles decided to remove the solution. It has now been corrected, thanks again for letting me know.
