Definitely not a 3* imo. I think it's 5, but I could see 4. Did really enjoy it though

definitely for experts only. if you ask exactly the right questions early on, the setter miserly hands over the minimal clues that allow progress.
incidentally, the renban isn't needed, because by the time i got there, it was redundant.
