In terms of enjoyment this puzzle was nothing short of deluxe! I haven't felt this pleased while solving a puzzle for a while now, it was masterfully set! I'd put off attempting this one for a while because I knew I'd need a pen and paper for it, finally got round to it today and it was worth the wait. Thank you for setting :)

Incredible. I really enjoyed this one. I did have to break out some scratch paper to keep up with all the numbers.

I really struggled with this, but all the steps were fair. It's an absolutely incredible puzzle, and I'm extremely pleased with myself for solving it!
The only reason I stuck with it for hours is because I was determined to see how it was possible. And it didn't disappoint!

Awesome puzzle! Especially loved how the *SPOILER* cages acted in column 7.

Struggled a little at first, but once I saw that break in, it was breathtaking.

I absolutely love this puzzle! The way to discover the 4 distinct sums is so unusual and yet brilliant! Thank you!

Beautiful puzzle - looks and feels impossible, then hard and barely believable - and then I gradually uncovered the beautifully clean logic hidden amongst those cages.

Quite a wonderful arithmetic blast of a puzzle there Jay! :)
It's also pretty intricate to grasp the ideas in the first half at first, and determining the totals finally was the sweetest part there. If anything, the clustered area of the two cells cages in boxes 2 and 3 was my favorite bit :)

this is possibly the cleanest and most intricately set execution of this ruleset i will ever see
