Odd Even puzzle from World Championship selection

Reposting this in a separate message from other post about World Championship puzzles as no-one seems to be looking at that now.

Has anyone tried the odd/even puzzle?

The odd numbers are no problem but I've had to use multiple colouring just to reach this stage. Now I'm really stuck! I think in a competition you'd have to resort to guessing and hoping it worked out.

Code: Select all
