I took a long time, and was stuck at times. Centermarking the arrows turned out easier than I feared, as was the puzzle overall. I noticed the roping of the middle band, which alerted me to how the cells filled. I was stuck in the endgame, until I tested block 7's arrow. 7+2 = 9 led to a collision, therefore the arrow was 5+2 = 7, and that collapsed the puzzle. 26:20 The next step is to resolve the 3s in the bottom band. One way is to ask where 146 go in the bottom band. Alternatively, one can fill out the remaining four cells in the bottom row. Five cells are already taken. Therefore, that's a good target for centermarking.
Huh, this was one of the Treks I really struggled with first time around, and while I got the initial break-in part fast, I got stuck for a few before realized something in box 4 and was able to finish quickly (with another small sting in the tail right near the end 😅), with times of 51:13 vs 20:16 (conflict checker off). Really beautiful puzzle!
Great example of logic/geometry... no tricks here, just simple deduction. The 1234s completely push the solve when combined with the quads in their rows. Completed in 15m58s.
38:58 here. Quite hard start, to be honest. Thanks BremSter for uploading this puzzle.
Very cool puzzle.
Very interesting learning experience! 😊
Another great puzzle!

24:06 for me today. Very nice puzzle.
32:58 with your help in boxes 456 with the rope! Thanks for that! Good puzzle 😉
I miss the trick of r8c3 and stuck.
Thanks for your solving and the puzzle.
took me a lot longer to see that at the end, and good thing I'm okay with coloring because I could not have done it without
