My daughter assisted with the design of this one - a birthday present for the most esteemed Bremster! He has posted a video solve of this puzzle, so now I bring it to all of you!

Really nice logic in this one. The puzzle preserves its solidity until the end rush and it has some nice wow moments. Thanks for setting.

Really fun solve. Also, wasn't there a meme twitter account / personality named Baked Alaska a while ago? Sounds familiar. Thanks for sharing!
>>>NSM here - nope, no Internet personality reference! I just wanted to make a reference to a fancy dessert that would be appropriate for a birthday.

This was such a cool one to watch unfold, it kept feeling like there's no way the symmetry will be broken, and then another piece would magically open up and break a bit of symmetry in a completely different spot on the grid! So much fun, thank you! 18 minutes for me :)
>>>NSM here - thank you for the solve! This is why I enjoy setting things with my daughter - she doesn't get the math yet, but because she has a good visual sense, she sometimes sets things up that lead to fun logic.
