Wow it took me hours to solve this one. Not that it's not approachable, I just tackled it wrongly and hat to start over twice. Without making the stupid mistakes, I loved it very much. Thanks a lot!

What a fantastic puzzle: I always get stuck in these ambiguous "X is to be determined by the solver" puzzles and, yet, this one flowed from the very beginning to the end, marvelous logic path

I don't often have what it takes to solve these ambiguous constraint kind of problems, but this was very well designed and approachable. Thank you!
