A heavy dislike for this puzzle.The bottom half part seemed to run way too thin on logic.
I always appreciate your comments. The intent was that it should be pretty easy to solve from the top if you nffhzr bar bs gur gjb bcgvbaf naq gura, vs lbh jrer jebat jura lbh trg gb gur raq, erirefr vg. Vg’f rnfl gb ernq gur fbyhgvba bss rira vs gur jubyr tevq vf onpxjneqf.
Enjoyed this, took a few goes, but after exploring the puzzle very interesting logic to get to solution.
