I would be interested in knowing how people solved it that easily, if anyone can give me a hint. I solved it by doing a lot of brute-force branching, and it took me a very long time to do so. Usually I see the trick eventually, but not here.
Coloring didn't help me that much either.

Definitely got bogged down a bit, but this was a very lovely puzzle!

Nice puzzle, I forgot about the negative constraint so I thought I was stuck until I re-read the rules.
