Wow! Many happy returns, beaker! [thumbsup]
Nice puzzle, by the way [thumbup]
(I'll admit to simply making a guess about the distribution of the numbers in the cells encircled by the zero-shaped cage in order to finish solving rows 3 through 6.)

Thanks.

I test solved a ton of them (including ones with a larger 8 and 0) until I settled on this one.
So I know exactly where you "hit the wall" [tongue]

I had to improve my solver a bit for large cages like that (!)

Just to know, maybe I was too fast but I have the impression there are several possible solutions for the puzzle.
This is why it's written at the bottom of the page : " 10 points for A correct solution " et not " 10 points for THE correct solution ??!?
