I was just thinking it would have been cruel if you had made the circles blue and squares orange… it feels universally true at this point that blue is even and orange is odd. Fun puzzle thanks!
-- Funny. I think CTC uses these colors because they are 'color blind friendly' and Odd/Orange starts with O ... I was trying to think of a color that starts with E. I suppose Emerald Green would work :-)

I stared at an impossible situation for about a half hour and finally saw the next step. Maybe I'm just slow, but I found this very difficult. It's a 'narrow' solution path which I always admire, beautiful construction.
