Yes, kaitoJD, there are two versions of this puzzle, but the solution is the same, sorry for the confusion.
I made this improved version after seeing BremSter's Solve Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j-r5z56ihc. BremSter found a way around my intended solve path, so I modified the puzzle to make it better. The old puzzle had been rated by then so I didn't want to just delete it. I added a comment to the old puzzle now that directs here. Sorry for the confusion.
