Don't know why it tripped me up so hard at first (well, maybe my brain thinking 1+2+4=8 did that), but I love the look of this grid.

Thank you for your comment, geekpuzzles! I am glad that you liked the puzzle. And I have to say, I can very much relate. I know the feeling when the brain does its own "calculations". I hope it did not give you too much headache.

Definitely took me a while to crack, but once I got there, I enjoyed the heck out of this - well set my friend!

i really enjoyed this puzzle, with all the given cages it seem it would be easy but don't be fooled! I had to restart three times before whatever i was doing wrong ironed itself out but once i had it it was smooth sailing. 24 minutes.

Very nice puzzle, but I agree that this is rather a three star difficulty (unless I missed something).
Thanks for the puzzle, sujoyku!

Must have missed something obvious - this was the longest I've been to solve a 2 star puzzle, even with a lot of information and an easy beginning.

Thank you for your comment, briansometimes! I am not sure if that is something you might have missed. But if you are interested, see my hidden comment below in which I explain one crucial step of my intended solve path that I consider to be the most difficult.

Very nice killer, thx!
I also didn't feel that one spot so much more difficult than other deductions. All flowed nicely and it was very enjoyable :)

You are much welcome, Wuschel, thank you for commenting! I am glad that you found the puzzle to be smooth and enjoyable. Maybe that step I described is not so much tougher, but maybe just less obvious to look for it. Anyhow, it is good to know that it did not stand out in difficulty for you.
