Spiral Stumper Series is a $5$-puzzles series taken from the Final Round of a local (national) contest, KPK, which has been ended recently and authored by me. The theme is spiral and each puzzle is standalone (there will be no meta, etc.)

  • $\begingroup$ Welcome to PSE and this is a very nice answer! :D The rule is correct, for the full answer it's actually almost correct: there are only a very few cells need to be changed, see if you could redo it :) $\endgroup$
