Wow really loved thinking about both entropy and modular in this one! Very clever!

looking forward to seeign this solved on one of my favourite YouTube channels (I'd love to see other's solution paths, I felt I came a bit too close to a bifurcation for my liking). What a puzzle, so rewarding!

One of the best puzzles I've done in a while. It just kept giving, with the modular restraint working throughout the entire puzzle. Superb setting as usual Jay Dyer. Thank you.

Knowing some of the math secrets about modular lines helped me a lot. A very fun and colorful solve for me! Thank you, Jay Dyer, for this lovely puzzle!
