the only thing that I diodn't like about this puzzle is that it's too "done" already.
coloring was super quick, and then it's selecting and counting only... few minutes and done.. I enjoyed it, but puzzle like these should come in sets of five to actually kill some time ;)
thanks for sharing, oh and yes yes.. that does read :" post more of these!" ;)

Nice puzzle.
Spent 20 minutes not knowing what to do.
Then remembered the knight's move :)

Nice one. Even easier and for me more fun if you start with coloring the whole grid. So at the end you just need to count the circles of a color and get the digit and all of its cells immediately.

I rated this 1/5 difficulty.
Neat 1* counting circle puzzle! This puzzle was nice and would be a great puzzle for a beginner who hasn't seen or solved many (or any at all) counting circle puzzles. The antiknight constraint had some nice geometry with the circles to make the break-in straightforward.
The whole solve went smoothly and was a nice & quick puzzle. Thanks for sharing!

An irregular counting circles puzzle with no given digits that's genuinely approachable is quite an accomplishment! Loved it!

Very nice tutorial on how counting circles can be affected by the knight's move
