It never seems to amaze me that 14 circles can lead to a unique solution with just 2 simple rules. Fantastic construction and very pleasing on the eye. Thank you for sharing this beauty.

I agree with Lorena: great puzzle and beautiful graphics. If only the light reflections on the counting circles would sit in the upper right… :-)
It also took me quite long when the puzzle started to resolve because of overseeing some simple Sudoku.

juggler: Dang it, you're right; upper right would have been more cohesive! Well, live and learn :)

I LOVED this puzzle. 10/10 in aesthetics and 10/10 in opening new pathways in my brain. Can’t ask for more!
My only minor nitpick is that the bubble in box 7 fooled me twice!
