Very elegant puzzle! This was a pretty tough one for me. Took me an hour to see the break in and place my first digit.

Thank you for your comment, dendrobium, and congratulations on the solve! In my opinion, the tough thing about the break-in is to spot the interaction of the "right" cages. It is nice to hear that you liked the puzzle and found it to be elegant.
Kind regards, sujoyku

Very nice construction! Took me about 30 minutes overall once I clued in on two specific cages as a break in and then worked out the layout of a third cage.

This is a beautiful creation with very clever logic. Took me 42 minutes to place my first digit - I found it quite tough! - but i got there in the end!

Woah! A lot of tricky math and clever logic culminate in a staggering adventure of a puzzle! I made a few incorrect deductions that lent themselves to a very hard solve. Congrats!
