May Patreon Reward - Solution Key Update
🕑 Added 2022-05-01 17:47:18 +0000 UTCIt has been pointed out - quite correctly - that there is a tie in the category we requested (total of the corner cells)! So we are changing the solution key request to the largest total for a 9-cell diagonal amongst the three puzzles, eg "Puzzle 1: 45".
The puzzle grids are unchanged this time! And now ... I am going for a lie down ...

I love the equal sum lines puzzles and this month’s challenge was so much fun. Thank you. I love that you made a normal/ approachable version. It allowed me to participate. I would love to see more monthly challenges with a hard and normal level. I am always so sad when I get no where on the really hard puzzles. I also would love to see an equal sum lines app. Thank you again
I don't mean to say this with any condemnation (the puzzles were great, enjoyed solving them) but I would have thought that the designers of these particular Patreon reward puzzles would have checked that the original entry criteria would not result in a tie. Best explanation I can think of, besides not checking that a tie was unlikely enough that the 3 puzzles would produce unique totals.
