Comments are spot on, the puzzle is really well made and the interaction are absolute beautiful. My first puzzle of this type so I found it to be harder than a 3 star; trouble with the scanning. Thanks for sharing

Great construction! It was a lot smoother once I realized that the black dots indicated a 1:3 ratio, and not a difference of 3.
- Thanks so much Agent! I'm sorry about the dot confusion, but I'm glad that it went smoothly once it was cleared up!

Added Irregular tag, because the central box definitely has irregular regions.
