To be honest for 5 minutes I had no idea how to start the puzzle. I looked at the right place and it solved smoothly once you have the idea. Nice puzzle !

This is a wonderful puzzle. The logic is hard, but I believe anyone can solve it with enough dedication, as it is not bogged down by heavy arithmetics. Thanks for making it.

What a beautiful puzzle! So smooth from start to finish. The final blue line spanning boxes 4 and 7 really made for a great finish. Thanks for sharing.

Phew! Tough puzzle. But terrific. There was always a way.

Thank you so much rameshrivats!
Fun fact: when I constructed the puzzle I was worried that I made it too trivial. Then it was slightly surprising to me that during testing it was suggested to be a 4* difficulty puzzle. I was of course biased, because I knew the idea I was going for. However, when you don't know yet where to look it or how to think about some of the line interactions, then it is indeed not easy. Congratulations on solving it, and thank you for leaving a comment!
