I recognised it immediately when I tested it... but due to a writing error by myself it took quite some time to solve it correctly :-D

This puzzle is easily solved if you recognise an elegant, interesting solving technique that I am very fond of. I have described this technique for this puzzle in a hidden comment, so you can learn from it if you didn't recognise it yourself. :-)
