A common question: Why don't the extremes have a check button? Would be very helpful to avoid frustration

 Smooth indeed, but wonderful - I like this kind of "summarized setti" on the even digits: The rows tell us that exactly one of them is missing, and a friendly column tells us which of them. Really nice!

Correction: "at most" instead of "exactly" - the result is the same.
