Wow! The way those lines interact was so beautiful to unravel. Amazing puzzle, Jay!

Maybe it's because I've done so many region sum puzzles, but I narrowed down the sums in this puzzle rather quickly. Since I solved this puzzle in a shade under an hour, I could not in good conscience give this puzzle more than a 3-star difficulty rating. But it still gets 5 stars for beauty and logic.

Maybe I was lucky in finding the right questions because this felt more like a 3* puzzle. Amazing setting and a satisfying solve!

Spectacular setting. Puzzles this hard or complex often make me feel like I'm wasting my time by not bifurcating, but I never felt that way here.

Beautiful. I was never truly stuck, but kept feeling like I was on the verge of being stuck. Very tightly constructed puzzle. Thanks!

One of the best pure region sum puzzles I've solved.

It took a while to tune fully into the logic of this one, but once I got it, it solved really nicely. At first the lines felt too loose, but somehow they were always just tight enough ... amazing construction.

Fantastic puzzle but quite a bit harder than 4* in my opinion.
