Took me a while to break in until I discovered the old palindrome trick.
Very nice puzzle and interactions between the variants!!!
Thank you for the puzzle!

That was a really fun interaction between the XV, the palindrome and the 159 rule set. I think you gave a little bit too much info, but it was a lot of fun!
@PleaseIgnore, Thanks for trying the puzzle and the feedback, which is duly noted :-) This puzzle was not meant to be difficult, given that the ropes constrain the puzzle significantly, just hoped that the interactions would be fun and I am glad that resonated with you too :-)
