Quite proud of my 56:53 time! Much fun was had!

And you can be, I think that puts you comfortably in first place of all the solvers haha (not that it was part of any competition of course XD) And most importantly, I'm glad you had fun solving it -- thanks again!

It is art.

Oh, the inspirator of the puzzle himself! Thanks so much filuta, I'm glad you liked it, I wasn't sure our good ol' Sudoku was really your cup of the tea anymore :-)

Yeahh, I've solved my first meta mystery puzzle! Honestly, it needed 2 days and some attempts (though I found the obvious instruction immediately ...). The second layer I didn't find, but it worked anyway. So again thanks for this new challenge (what about a combination with zero :D)
.............
You just keep surprising me haha -- that is awesome, thank you so much once again! :D
About the second layer, indeed I wanted the puzzle to be *almost* solvable without finding the second layer immediately, but of course, not quite -- hoping that other layer would appear more clearly after some work has been done, so it's making me quite happy to see that this seems to be exactly the path taken by most solvers :D
And about using zero here, my goodness, that would be something lol, but hey, I'm always up for a setting challenge, I'll think about it -- and thanks so much again for that streak of solves on my puzzles!

Yay, finally, after more than 3 hours fiddling around with various ideas I got it.
Had the initial idea right but it still took me way longer than it should have.
Thanks for setting one of the most unique and enjoyable puzzles ever!

Oh, thank you so much for sticking through it and solving it, and for the kind words, I'm happy you liked it! :D
Surely there's solvers who would just breeze through it, but I completely reworked the puzzle precisely to make it more of a challenge than its first version, so I think you did good! :-)
