So many constraints and though so many options for every arrow ... . Another one that could be solved with endurance- wonder how your special pencilmarking would have saved a lot of time ... . But anyway enjoyable. Thanks!

Thank you for solving! I'm glad to hear you found it enjoyable -- it's part of the experiments me and filuta were doing at the time, and it'd seem from the rating that not everybody really 'got it', but to be fair, I'm looking at my files from that time and it's making my head spin XD
It was around that time that I started to see this was going nowhere and I decided to focus on just a few rulesets (my Doppelganger and the Still Life), and really chisel them -- although I guess I still tempted one more experiment with the 'Samurai Hypercube', which nobody other than filuta again really got either lol. Anyhow, thanks again for all your support! (And by the way, Yann posted the other version of his puzzle -- it's not easy either but could use the support!)

A highly intricate and interesting construction! Thank you for the puzzle, and for the reminder about the incredible virtuosity of Hillary Hahn. :-D

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for such a comment (and the solve of course)! Coming from a solver (and setter) like you, whatever happens now, my day is automatically made for the next three weeks at least haha
Also glad to hear you appreciated the 'bonus aural treat' :-D (plus I see you have a puzzle called Vers la flamme, I should definitely tackle this one soon!)

Beautiful and also very tricky construction (to my liking). Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much! I was really, really hoping it'd do justice to the title I chose for it and I'm really glad if you thought it was beautiful! :D
