Almost didn't try this one because of the comparatively low rating. Glad I gave it a go. Made me think new thoughts.
- Thanks for the feedback and for giving it a go!

Beautiful main idea in here with a cool aha moment in the middle, well done! x)
(also screw the haters, they don’t know jacks hit)
- Thanks for your comment and feedback! I guess they either didn’t like the combination of the lines or didn’t get the break-in :P

This might be the most beautiful break-in I've ever solved. Truly in awe of this puzzle, and the logic unfolded gradually thereafter at the perfect pace, not too fast, not too slow, and sublime all the way. Antiknight, you have a beautiful mind.
Edit to add: 42 min solve for me, would rate 3.5 difficulty.
- Wow, that’s high praise! I’m really happy you found it so interesting. Thank you for the feedback and your kind comment.
