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.

maybe it's just me, but I found this way tougher than 3*! lots of fun, though :)
