Quite funny how the difficulty changed during the solve. Starting with the feeling that it was very easy which gradually changed into easy, not so easy, huh.., etc. Very nice puzzle. Thanks.

Absolutely my favourite series. Always surprising how you manage to weave the Dutch Flat Mates rule into the rest of the logic as an integral part of the solve.

Thank you for this fun puzzle, Flinty! The combination of arrow logic and the Dutch flat mates rule allows for some really nice deductions.

I asked for this variant and I was not disappointed by the result. You always have nice break in ideas with a nice use of the dutch flat mate constraint.
