Solving a mathpesto puzzle is always satisfying but this one has a real smooth solve path. Lovely!

Really good puzzle, with an interesting variation on german whispers - I initially misread the rules, but once I realised it was cage sums not individual cells, I started again and it was very natural and satisfying to solve. I rated it three stars for difficulty based on this.

Very nice puzzle! I loved the breakin and the interactions between the cages across the grid. I think I was maybe a bit lucky to see the intended solvepath quickly and solve the puzzle in half an hour, therefore I gave it 3 stars for difficulty. Thank you.

I'm fairly new to solving but I really enjoy puzzles with black dots so I thought I'd give this one a try. The break in was easy enough but after that I had a tough time. Was fun solving though took me nearly 9 hours to crack it but it was well worth getting there especially when every digit felt like an achievement

What a beautiful puzzle. Ridiculousely clever interactions. The break in is of the best I have ever seen. Thx for sharing.

What a break-in! The solve path is pure joy from start to finish. Loved it
