This puzzle almost drove me insane.
Turns out, it helps to actually *read* the rules instead of quickly skimming them. *facepalm*
But that's definitely not the setter's fault, so thanks for your work. :D

Thank you for this nice puzzle, H.Bell! The "one digit in each cage" rule was a splendid idea.

Fun and genuinely approachable. Might be fodder for a series of increasingly more challenging puzzles with the same ruleset.
