EL Buderino, don’t be discouraged, we have all felt that way. And yes, difficulty ratings on this website aren’t very grounded in reality. Even solving a 1 star is a great achievement.

Googling an image of a magic square and looking how it was arranged did help.

Solved it in just under 20 minutes.
But was it very easy? Not in my understanding of very easy.
Normally I’d say it’s medium. But I guess that’s not the norm here…

This has great pacing! A few different ideas that can be tricky if you're unfamiliar with the special rules makes it so the first two or three breakthroughs leave you needing to stop and think several more times, but never for outrageously long.

A fun puzzle, thank you for sharing. More like a 2/5 for me, but then again, that‘s probably just me…
