It's a little frustrating that the rules are still incorrect on the CtC app. It still says grey circles are even. The rules on this website are correct.
Another good reason to post the solution link:

Nice puzzle, but the grey circles rule should be corrected.

Nice puzzle. On the CTC page, the rules still say "Cells are a grey circle are even" - this had me a bit confused till I saw the rules here.

My budgie has been watching CTC for years now and has solved all of Phistomefel's puzzles in under half an hour. Soon I will publish his first puzzle here. I've been gritting my teeth on it for weeks. He said the beginning might be a bit tricky. I am totally depressed.

Fixed grey circle rules, sorry for any inconvenience caused

Circles are odd not even as given in the rule set. I was dubious about that odd rule but given the title I thought it may be correct so I avoided using that rule as long as possible and narrowed down one of the circles to either 1 odd option or 3 evens and couldn’t progress further without asserting that circles are odd in contradiction to the rule set.
The puzzle is nice enough just needs to rule set correcting. I was careful when reading the rules as I recently got caught out and stuck because I’d not noticed a rule.

I think you mean: Cells on a grey circle are odd.
