I paraphrase one of my comments from last month: Your Ichikaras provide several more reasons why you've become one of my favourite portal authors.

Wow, such a nice new puzzle variant. Quite hard, until you know what questions you should ask. Thank you!

This puzzle genre should find its way into a great future! (Though it needs some more talented authors - unfortunately I am not one of them.) Thank you very much for creating and sharing this lovely puzzle.

These Ichikaras are getting trickier and trickier. I hope I will still be able to figure out the next one. :) Thanks for these fun puzzles, Juggler!
