Awesome puzzle where I did use the negative constraint quite a few times ;P

Excellent puzzle! Interesting how the negative XV constraint takes a back seat in the solution path on this one, you have to get through all the tricky logic on the kropki dots first, then use the XV for the finish. Really smooth flow throughout. Thanks!
