Relies too much on the solver being too scared of bifurcation to try anything out. Conjectures lead to lengthy but trivial chains of reasoning, the only challenge being to hold them in your head.

This one was truly a fun puzzle. Loved the logic with the murder cages. Adding to my favorites short-list.
