I'm out of the box. Unconfirmed, but a no-doubter.
Great puzzle! Hope to see more from Shmuel.

Nice one; I made it a bit harder (and created a fun mechanism) until I re-read the instructions.
I teach the maths, but I don't think I'd ever heard of 52A until recently when a student wrote a paper about sniper training or something like that. (I teach a course designed for Air National Guard members, so this topic is not unusual.) Classroom math vs. applied math, I suppose.

Thanks for all the positive feedback!
It is indeed my debut puzzle. It's nice to have a crowd of muggles who are more than willing to solve a puzzle (as opposed to my poor family members and once close friends who have had to suffer my earlier construction attempts foisted upon them).
A big thanks to Will and the Pandora's Blocks team who patiently worked with me to create the final puzzle.
I'm more than happy to receive any constructive (quite literally) criticism. Feel free to PM me - though I'm in Israel so it may take some time until I get back to you.
Thanks for solving,
Shmuel
