Can I get a clairification of the rules for this one please?
What I'm reading is that if say a 9 appears in box 9, it must appear nine times in box 9, nine times in rows 7, 8, & 9, and nine times in columns 7, 8, & 9. Following this logic, all cells must contain 9s.
Obviously, that's not right considering that digits may not repeat in cages. So basically, there can be no 9s in the puzzle.
Am I understanding this correctly?

This is a puzzle that makes you feel like "how does one even come up with this?"
I imagine a certain person would describe this as "bonkers"

Haha, what a funny puzzle! It's not hard at all once you know what's going on, but it definitely twists your brain. Gorgeous puzzle and break-in :)

I hardly remember solving this, it was more like I sat down and stared at a blank grid and eventually I had a very colourful grid filled with numbers. What a beautiful idea!
