Very pretty break-in
First attempt: I meesed up everything and gave up after 7 minutes.
Second attempt: Clear notes about possible sums combinations helped me a lot and finished in 4:14
Very beautiful logic path to solve this. This puzzle might just be the best skyscrapers I’ve ever played (so far)!
