Such a different puzzle, very enjoyable. (Once I stopped tripping back into traditional Killer cage reflexes!)

I got stuck about half way through, but I'm pretty happy that I was able to make progress in a competition-grade puzzle. Great solve, and thanks for sharing!

That was fun! Such an amazing scanning exercise.

35:29 no help.

Tough but fun puzzle.

Don't think I've seen this constraint before.

Now to see what I can learn from Bremster.

Excellent puzzle, lots of heavy scanning but loved how things slowly fell into place! Completed in 11:54 (conflict checker off), thanks to BremSter for presenting this!

My time was similar to yours. Thanks for sharing -- it was lots of fun!

[oldmomj]

very fun puzzle. Thank you for the solve

27 minutes, very unique ruleset, since it is old, I wonder why it didn't stick around.

Hey, Brem. I want to apologize for yesterday. I've had a day so stressful, I still wanted to solve a sudoku despite being discouraged. One tiny mistake made me feel angry and afraid of having "skill issues". Not an attack on you. I retried today and I realized that I shouldn't solve puzzles on a bad or stressful day.

[donaldsnyder]

I would love to know how fast this was solved by the competitors 😊.

An interesting puzzle but scanning is one of my least favourite things to do and this was basically just scanning except slightly harder because you need to look at the cages and not just digits! Interesting but definitely not my cup of tea!

Lots of scanning .... just under 10 minutes for me.
