I like the killer logic a lot! The German Whisper lines doesn't add much, though, other than adding to the general smoothness of the solve, I guess.

Thank you for your feedback, Piatato! I think of the killer cages as the main part of the puzzle. The German whispers lines are rather serving for disambiguation. Maybe I should have worked longer on the setting to find something more elegant.
Anyways, I am glad that you enjoyed the solve.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Very interesting how the clues interact with one another. Not easy, but also far from hard. log10(100) stars for me.

Thank you for your comment, gdc! I am glad that you liked the interaction of the different clues. The setup in the columns 1 to 3 was my initial idea for setting this puzzle.

Thank you for your comment, Snookerfan! I am glad that you enjoyed the puzzle. As I have stated in my reply below, I thought the puzzle was a lot easier than 3 stars but it seems that my estimation is off. Thank you for giving your opinion.

Nicely done, Sujoyku. Harder than one star, a no ser que, your rating is logarithmic.
**
Thank you for your comment, Fisherman! Concerning difficulty: Maybe this is a 1,5/5 puzzle. Honestly, I tried to be a little prudent because I seemed to overestimate the difficulty in some of the last puzzles.
I did not fully understand the second part of your comment. Why is my rating logarithmic? Hablo un poquito espanol pero no he comprendido el "a no ser que". :)
If you like, feel free to clarify.
Kind regards, sujoyku
