This whole time, I've been Riding my Zeugma, and now I discover that I was supposed to be Writing it all along. How novel!
This is a great puzzle. I especially like the interplay between the Odd Lots, Entropic Lines, and Quadruples. I realize that these are all the constraints in the puzzle, but there are some truly marvelous deductions that occur from the interaction of all three working together.
