Brilliant killer. Discovering such an elegant and essentially simple break in was pure satisfaction.

Probably one of my favorite puzzles! Took me a good 3 hours, but the logical steps involved are fantastic. A bit on the harder side for me, I rate it 4*.

Not sure how you can publish a new puzzle every day and maintain such a high quality like this puzzle! With some experience you know exactly how the break-in will work, but it was still difficult and even a bit unexpected. Keep up the nice work!

ND: Thank you for the comment! Just FYI, I am not setting a new puzzle every day, I just have a backlog of puzzles to publish.

Some beautyful steps in this one. Very well done. We all did tons of KC in those last years, but they are stil amazing.
Thanks a lot.

Excellent mind bending puzzle. Perseverance paid off over a couple of hours of enjoyable puzzling. More of an upper end 4* puzzle for me.
