Here is the link to the other prime cages puzzles that inspired me: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Raetsel/zeigen.php?id=000HSF
I can't believe I've been working on this, albeit sporadically, for 9 months. I had the numbers, the break-in, and the general logic that I wanted, nailed down quite early on. But getting it to work was um interesting. I quit the project a few times, but always ended up getting dragged back to it with another hare-brained idea to try. I'm satisfied with the end result though, even if it does have a damn dot :)
