Very appropriate as the LA Lakers have been very hot lately haha. Though that may change with LeBron's injury. Thanks for a fun solve!

Really nice puzzle. Once you get the break in everything falls into place really quickly.

Really fun puzzle, and very nicely set! I do have to agree though, this felt more 2-3* than 4*

lol, I agree with you therealsillypenguin! I originally had it set lower and changed it. Although it doesn't really matter what difficulty level is set at activation since the first 10 or so ratings will determine/change that. I will say it's been hard to determine a fair level as a setter (unless it's an obvious 1*). I activated a 3* puzzle that I though was easier, or on par with this one and only 10 people have been able to solve. Hence why I modified this one. I truly appreciate your comments therealsillypenguin and I'm happy it was a fun puzzle for you :)

Very nice puzzle. Pleasure all the way. But definitely not 4* difficulty. Found it closer to 2/2.5.
