Surprising in moments, and very hard

Thanks for ploughing through it! I appreciate your tenacity. This puzzle is much too hard really. I'm not sure I could solve it myself without looking at the notes!

Dürfen sich die Cages nur jeweils 1 Ziffer teilen oder auch mehr als 1?
- Only 1 digit. (Nur eine Ziffer.)

It was certainly a challenge, and I'm not sure I always followed the intended path. Thanks for setting it.

An interesting rule set with some cool logic. This was quite difficult, but felt very rewarding to finally solve.
- Thanks for solving (and for your help taming the original version.) Glad you liked it!
