Wow, it's so astonishingly similar. Our minds crossed (≥ ∀≤) ゞ

**
Exactly! Actually, already when I read the title of your puzzle I thought it might have the same break-in. So fun that we discovered it independently. Thank you for also giving my puzzle a try and thanks for your nice comment!
Kind regards, sujoyku

Very interesting. I found the +1 by adding the leftovers in every box, which is harder than the recommended path, but worked well.

A lot of fun - prob a 2* because of the break-in.

**
Thank you for commenting, Chilly! I am glad you had fun with the puzzle. I agree with your assessment of difficulty. Initially, I've set the difficulty to 2/5. But in the end it does not matter so much if it is consindered to be an easier 2/5 or a harder 1/5 puzzle. :)
Kind regards, sujoyku

Struggled to find the break in for a while, but very satisfying solve once found!

**
Thank you for your comment, Paytertot! The break-in definitely is the hardest part of the puzzle. I am happy that you had a satisfying solve thereafter.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Smooth and enjoyable solve, although I did need to use some calculator :-)

**
Thank you for your comment, julien505! I am glad you had a smooth and enjoyable solve. Concernig the calculator: It is not necessary to add all cage totals.

Haha, you truly nailed your description of the puzzle.

Finding the break in makes you feel good and then it was a breeze.

Thanks for a nice puzzle.

Hey Snaques, thank you for your kind feedback! As you say, the break-in is the tough part and then the reward is an easy finish. I am glad that you enjoyed the puzzle.

I tripped over a box of Kleenex this morning and thought I had broken my ankle. Thankfully, it was just soft tissue damage.
I tripped and hit my head on a snare drum. I think I have a percussion.
I tripped over my shoelaces one day and got arrested. The police said it was a felony.
I tripped in France. Eiffel over.
Last week, I tripped over my bike and really hurt myself. So I moved it into another room. But the next day, forgetting I moved it, I tripped again. So I moved it into another room. The next day, again I forgot, and I tripped again. So I moved it. The next day...Yeah, it's a vicious cycle.

Yes, cute break-in. Thanks for the fun puzzle.

**
Thank you for your comment, RussKozerski! To be honest, I did not get the first part. Is it a reference to song lyrics or some story?
Anyways, I am happy that you enjoyed the puzzle.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Dope break-in. Really loved it. Used my calculator though :D

**
Thank you for commenting, LoverOfPi! I am glad that you liked the break-in. I am not quite sure if I understand your use of the calculator correctly, but in the solve it is not required to sum up ALL the cages.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Really cool puzzle, took me a while to find the break-in so I personally wouldn't give it 1* but I'm also not that good of a solver :)
Nevertheless really enjoyed it!

Very cute break in, after that the puzzle is pretty trivial, I've given 1* difficulty.

Thank you for your comment, britboy3456! I am glad that you enjoyed the puzzle. Concerning the difficulty, I completely agree with you. After the break-in everything seems to fall into place almost by itself.
