Another wonderfull puzzle, I really like how 5 is joining both polarity camps. I found break-in to this one particularly hard. Thank you! :-)

Great puzzle. Liked the break in very much. That was 3* itself. Very smooth solve from there. Great setting thx.

Excellent as always! I don't know if the break-in was supposed to be a quick AHA. For me it was 30 minutes of using 8 or more cages. But, once it broke, it was a quick and beautiful solve. Thanks, sujoyku!

You are much welcome, RedBarchetta, thank you for your comment! I honestly thought the break-in was a quick AHA as you've put it. But of course the problem is that it is rough to estimate how telegraphed an idea is that you built in from the start when setting the puzzle. Thank you for sharing your experience of the break-in!

Thank you for your comment, wuc! I am glad that you liked the puzzle and its break-in. I usually tend to overestimate the difficulty, but maybe I underestimated it a little here.
