In my world this is neither 2 nor 3 stars - but academic discussions aside, the interactions were very logical and pleasing once the break-in was found. But that certainly took me quite a while. Narrow path but flawlessly constructed.

This is beautiful - the cage interactions brought a genuine smile to my face when I realised what was going on! Smooth, enjoyable, satisfying. Thank you. I would probably rate this at 3*.
> Thanks for the kind words! I weakly agree that this is 3 stars, but when I posted in the CTC Discord's testing section about 67% of people said it was 2* and the other 33% said it was 3*. (Though I have to wonder, if I initially set the difficulty to 3* --- would LMD have rated this 3*?)

Lovely :) took me 40 minutes, longer than most 2*s but I didn't really feel like I was struggling.
> Glad you enjoyed! For what it's worth, I believe this puzzle is harder than most 2*s.
