Welcome. Implicitly, in your solution, you manage a problem of “maximums and minimums in the sum of cages”, that sometimes may be reduced to the same problem with individual cells and cages, like in our case (this time I include a graphic so that other puzzlers may follow this topic in the future). The interesting thing, in the more compact equation, a3 + “4-” = f4 + 2 is that, once we know that “4-“ is the pair 15, we have a3 + 6 = f4 + 2, that is, f4 = a3 + 4 and, since the maximum value for f4 is 6, and a3 can not be 1, it must be a3 = 2 and f4 = 6. We then quickly fill all those cells in blue and inmediately those in green (considering that c6 + d6 = 6 and then d6 = 4, c6 = 2) and those cells in brown (f5 + f6 = 7, so 25 for those). We finish the puzzle in a few minutes and I think that answers the initial jomapil’s question: “How is it possible to solve it in 5 minutes?", but we must be lucky to see where relationships like those may be present.
