I feel obligated to try every parity mirror puzzle (and every Marble Run..anyone?)
This was an awesome puzzle, very neat deductions, great flow. And really neat use of the parity constraint!
Two minor complaints:
- This NOT a 1* puzzle, so I thought I was going crazy not seeing easy deductions to start with.
- Every other parity mirror (not just mine) have been on the other diagonal, took a bit of time to adjust.

Hey zegres,
Thanks for the feedack.
(1) I originally listed this as a 3-star puzzle, but then jalebc solved it in under 10 minutes. So I adjusted the suggested difficulty down to 1-star.
I think I will restore my original estimate. Let's see what the solvers say, once enough ratings have come in.
(2) Variety is the spice of life :)
