19mins solved. I like the clue in the upper grid, especially both 20 clues. little bit confuse at the beginning, but smooth after notice that it is just counting possible combination
Wow, this took an hour to solve for me. It didn’t help that at one point I performed combination analysis on a “22 sum” that was actually a 20 sum!
