Not easy at all. Had to give up once and start over another day, and it still took me almost 2 hours. But that won't stop me from saying this puzzle was gorgeous. The tricky logic kept me hooked while I slowly worked my way through. This was such an awesome puzzle! Thanks jwsinclair!

first step nice and simple - second step much more of a challenge, and in the end it all just slotted in so fast.

I shot myself in the foot twice by being incredibly slow with the negative restraint. Still fell in love with this puzzle though, the logic is fantastic, even the name is perfect.
Well done!
