Thanks for another great one ATK - and congrats on the 50. I think I have just a few left to solve. Always very enjoyable.

Nice puzzle. Well done. Also congratulations on 50 puzzles. They are very enjoyable.
On this one, I was stuck quite a while. I realised too late some logic arround the "Hi". But even after that, the puzzle resistet quite a bit. But I had much fun overall. Thank you.
---Glad you liked it. I _think_ this puzzle is a lot easier than it seems (if that's a meaningful thing to say) -- in my solve path there is never a moment of real difficulty, but there are some pretty specific things that have to be seen.
Anyway, thanks for the solve and the kind comment.
