This is a really nice puzzle that forced me to think about every permutation for each clue. I liked solving it, but it was a struggle. So, I went back and solved your other puzzles with the circles and square rules. I think this is not the most difficult, but it is hard. Especially the concept of equal numbers. I had to fix some errors more than once.
