Thank you for all the comments! And nice that at least some have understood the reference in the title (more in a hidden comment by nassausolver).

That was fun. A little bit cruel, but mostly very fair.

Cool idea, nicely executed: I eventually understood the title ...

If a cage total is the sum of two other cage totals, do the other cages have to be different? For example, is it acceptable to go from 1 to 2 directly, or do I have to have two 1 cages to have a 2 cage?
- The sum must be from two different cages (although those cages may have identical totals). So, you need two 1-cages to get a 2-cage, for example.
