"Wow, I can figure out the parity of most squares so fast, I should be done in only a few min- why do I hear Jojo music"
Very pretty puzzle, and a lot of fun to track clues around and around.
>>>NSM here - I'm so glad you liked it, and the Jojo comment cracked me up!

For me it was more like a 1.5 star. Got a bit stucked until I come back looking deeper on the german whispers. Thanks for share, very fun to solve
>>>NSM here - I appreciate the solve. If it makes you feel any better, I had some snags in my testing of the puzzle, and it was the German Whispers that helped me finish it out.
