What a joy to solve, I really really liked how the constraints interacted with eachother. Thanks for the puzzle
(Edit from Godrick) Thank you so much for your nice comment! It was pretty joyful to set as well, and like you I really liked some of the combinations between the two constrains.

After an hour stuck at one point, and almost giving in to bifurcation/guessing, I discovered one STUPID LITTLE THING I had overlooked, ha ha. Good puzzle!
(Edit from Godrick) Thank you for your persistence! There are a couple of nice (but not very difficult) logics I can understand you can get stuck on because they can be overlooked. Happy you liked it and didn't gove up! Godrick
