Well done Sujoyku! The trick in the puzzle is beautiful but quite hard to spot, almost took me 20 minutes. But after that, the solve is smooth!

Lovely puzzle - challenging for me - each new deduction took a while but great satisfaction in getting to the end. Thanks for creating.

Thank you for your comment, ozgaz! I am glad that you enjoyed the solve. I also think that this is one of my harder puzzles. Initially I gave it 4/5 difficulty.

Lovely idea!

Thank you for your comment, Piatato! I greatly enjoyed watching your setter video on CTC. "Polar Attraction" is an amazing puzzle and seeing your battle to make it work both reminded me of how much fun I had in the solve and âlso of my own struggles when a puzzle does not like to go the way it is supposed to. ^^
Maybe you noticed that I "stole" an idea of you and Nordy in this puzzle as well?
As you are one of my favourite setters it means a lot to me that you approve of this puzzle.
Kind regards, sujoyku

The geometry on the break in is very elegant, and I loved how the killer cages interacted with each other throughout the solve. Fantastic puzzle! Thanks for the opportunity to test solve.

Thank you for your kind comment, CaptZebraCakes! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. The interaction of the cages was my main idea for setting the puzzle. I first thought about the 27 and 9 cages and then added some of the other cages. It is great to hear that you liked the geometry.
Kind regards, sujoyku
