This became much easier when I remembered how zipper lines worked and stopped trying to treat them like arrows that go in two directions. Really nice.

Really fun Zipper Line puzzle without crazy hard math or set theory! This actually closely resembles a puzzle I was halfway through setting. Oh well, this one was better anyway :)
In my futile effort to have consistent constraint graphics, I remade this puzzle in an alternate style that I personally prefer. Feel free to use it if you'd like, and if not, that's ok too :) Thanks for the great puzzle!
