Very nice. Puzzles like this make me really wish Sven's Sudoku Pad had a text box or something to keep notes in.
I certainly don't have the working memory to keep track of all relationships to figure out which ones do/don't work.

Counter to everyone else, found resolving the 'second part' incredibly simple, but the colouring bit kicked my ass for almost 4 hours. First 3* puzzle I've solved that felt like I'd really earned!

Wow, what a stellar puzzle. I had doubts about my reasoning in the 2nd part, so when I turned out to be correct and it all unraveled was very satisfying :)

A funny colorful miracle! Amazing how this works. Thank you so much for sharing.

The colouring part is fascinating and the second part costs me almost 30 minutes. Great that I figured out the pattern eventually.

a puzzle in two parts.
the procedure for the first part is clear enough. for the second part, i did a bunch of CASING until i figured out the LOGICAL PROCEDURE.
which leads to ...
certainly boggles MY mind how the constructor could first INVENT the procedure and then APPLY it.

Thank you for another lovely KICK puzzle.
Possibly the best one yet, keep them coming please!
From timyoth: Glad to hear it! I have some grids up my sleeve, but I would like to keep adding some interesting logic rather than just pumping out the same steps in a different shape. Stay tuned!
