Mr Toffee puzzles are always worth a look for me regardless of rating. Thank you for setting.

I still don't get the ratings in the 80s. Makes no sense. Thanks for sharing so many puzzles.

Hey Pinkie, meh.
I woke this morning very happy to see this at 90% with a certain amount of solves, went to get coffee, came back... 83% after one more solve. -7% in one appraisal. I know who that was, but that's life, and I'm not posting here for them, though it is true that engagement suffers on lower scores etc. "Beauty" as %, also, really? I've seen some very ugly 100% puzzles where the word beauty just doesn't apply in the classical sense, CtC even mentioned my view on this a while back. Here it means very much a solving beauty, not actual beauty, and I'm well aware that there are few, if any, AHA! moments in my puzzles, and that Good = 75%, so anything over 75% is fine for me. I don't expect everyone, or anyone, to like these, there are more worthy puzzles out there, but the thing that gets me is when people mark them down after announcing that a puzzle is too confusing... that I really don't understand... a puzzle being confusing is surely the sign of a good puzzle. Puzzling. Anyway, thank you for being the continued source of positivity. Cheers.
