really enjoyed how I was able to bounce between coloring logic and math logic in order to solve.

Thanks for the kind comments. I also thought the puzzle was a 2* on publication, but there are some very talented solvers in this community.

Beautiful! I definitely think the break-in puts it at a 2 though.

Really nice coloring, placeholding and puzzle in general. I don't know if 1* or 2* but fun! (32'36")

Really nice puzzle -- loved the back and forth between cages and palindromes. 2* difficulty.

Maybe it gets easier after the break in but this does not feel like 1*
