    Very creative. I give it a 6/10. Not my favorite puzzle, but I do think I could have done this one on my own if I had needed to.
    Also, you are the love of my life. Man of my dreams. Father of my future children. ❤️

      ❤️. Thanks love!

      FWIW: No complaints on the zeros puzzle. This ladder was good though. A nice mix of math and non-math clues and a spots that had to be attacked from below to be unique.

        I love making the first couple of clues harder or ambiguous, so the solver has to solve from the middle. Just my setting preference.
        • SamuRai 🤓2:34 · 2024-06-21T20:44:04.177Z
          747 vs 777 and 120 vs 720 were both valid answers in the middle too, so it was fun to untangle them.

            What’s your verdict, was the solution unambiguous?
            • SamuRai 🤓2:34 · 2024-06-22T00:40:20.267Z
              As with my favorite number puzzles, the overall solution was singular but particular clues have multiple possibilities. This gives it the feel of a good crossword. While Haven’s 6/10 is greater than my 9/10 my verdict is a well constructed puzzle. I give an extra point for it being a new crossnumber format (you beat me to this one :)

                He's aware that my ratings are biased lol. I tend to rate based on how much fun I had, and how much help I needed from him to solve them. I also often give bonus points for clues that are inside jokes or particularly sweet/clever.
                • SamuRai 🤓2:34 · 2024-06-25T23:57:42.661Z
                  All reviews are biased in some way. The best acknowledge it.
                  Presuming to speak for the non-Havens, we are thankful that Noah has such a wonderful muse to inspire him and that you are willing to allow the rest of us a little window into the joy you bring him. For that, we thank you. 🙏

                    Lol. Thanks SamuRai
      • Ewoly 🤓3:03 · 2024-06-21T16:39:53.379Z
        nice! got the factorial one straight away since it was either 120 or 720, which lead me to divisible by 5^3, trying each 125 option. only used an extra hint for the 100th prime since idr what it was
        • The Noah costruttore · 2024-06-21T17:46:49.692Z
          Great job! Glad you enjoyed using the higher difficulty. I like using spoiler tags to allow people to struggle with a puzzle longer before using a hint as needed or immediately using all hints and relying on intuition and guessing. No wrong way to solve a puzzle
        • kurtalert 🤓2:15 · 2024-06-21T16:57:58.221Z
          Hard! Worked backward, mostly.
          • The Noah costruttore · 2024-06-21T17:47:12.171Z
            10/10. Good job.

            Very creative! Fun — good balance of challenge and flow. And nice implementation of the hinting.
            Two tiny nits:
            • I had to keep checking your note on which digit had changed (mainly because I am a suspicious person) so I might have used ⬜️ for unchanging digits and a bright square like 🟥 for the changing digit
            • I read your desire to make some clues ambiguous but 4A bugged me (since 561 is also a multiple of 11)… some alternative cluing angles for 341 here.
            • The Noah costruttore · 2024-06-22T04:22:23.489Z
              Thank you for sharing. I will take the advice on the hints into consideration. Sorry it was counterintuitive. I’m always trying to grow and learn.
              I’m an engineering student, and I feel my math trivia knowledge is above average, but there’s a lot I simply don’t know enough to confidently add it to a clue. Glad you were able to solve the puzzle from surrounding clues
