Either I did this wrong or I think this should be maybe 3 stars. Distinguishing the unique numbers was fairly easy. But it took some harder than usual math to solve the linear system of equations I ended up with. Actually had to write this one down. haha

Took a while to realise how many unique digits were on the lines, then had to dig out my decaying memory of simultaneous equations! Very satisfying to get it right :-) Letters are your friend, not colours!!

I looved how easy the colouring went, it was a blast and just after finishing the colours I figured the second star is NOT because of getting the colours in place it's about math..
And since I lost track of what numbers are already assigned and had to take notes the second star is perfectly adequate..
Very fun puzzle thanks a ton
