Heh good. Yes might find better colors or put different bulbs on lines in the future. And the thought of making all lines grey in one puzzle may have crossed my mind heh

Very nice! If you're colorblind like me, be careful, the blue-ish looking lines all look similar!!

Great puzzle. It's always fun in these coloring puzzles when the colors you choose end up being correlated with the correct digits!

Was cage r6c5 not needed or did I do something wrong?

I’m finding that I’m getting faster with the connected 10 lines so it felt a bit easier - thank you for this great series
