Here is the link (I hope)

This is big for me also because if it gets enough (positive) attention, zetamath said he would try it. If he likes it, it could really push me. Even constructive criticism from a setter/solver of his calibre would be huge.
If anyone wants to try it, I would appreciate it if you used the LMD page to submit your solve, as well as any comments. And please rate it for difficulty and enjoyment.
Thank you.
Sadly, Zen-Ten has only gotten 5 solves. Oh well, it is based on an unfamiliar constraint, so I shouldn't be surprised. I did put one of my old puzzles up: Three at a Time. It has had 79 solves and a 93% rating, so I am really pumped about that.
At this time, when I make a new puzzle, I put it on the CtC discord server for testing and feedback, and it might make its way onto Logic Masters Germany. Of course, those sites get a lot of submissions, so there isn't always a lot of feedback, but there are a lot of people who solve a lot of puzzles.
What I would like to know is should I continue to post at least some of my less weird puzzles here? Maybe what I could do is post a link to Logic Master Germany, for example, when I post a puzzle there. If any POGGERS want to try it, they can use the link and claim solves there, and provide feedback, as well as rating the puzzle. On the internet, ratings and reviews are king.
Thank you all for the support you have given me in this thread. I really think it has made me a better setter, and pushed my passion for this hobby even further. A special thank you to POGcrazy94 for starting this thread on the day after my anniversary in 2020. Coincidentally, I got married in '94.
