Wow, very fun but I found it VERY hard in the middle. I don't really do RSL focused puzzles, so I'm sure it's on me there. Very fun, thanks for setting!

Definitely on the top half of 2 stars for me. Anyway, flow was nice and it helped me to discover some forgotten properties of sum lines

After going too fast and making a mistake that broke the puzzle and forcing me to start over, it was a nice solve.

Not fun when you have to start over so thanks for sticking with it! -- Fenners
