Very nice! Another interesting, unconventional ruleset. Figuring out the placement of the 9s was good fun. Thanks ICHTUES!

The instructions on this page say the second slingshot option is "contains at least 2 slingshots" but the rules on the f-puzzles page says "contains 2 slingshots". Which is correct?
@DiMono
"contains at least 2 slingshots" is correct.
