Rules:

  • Each white hex must contain either a red, green or blue light bulb.
  • Light bulbs of the same color cannot be in neighboring hexes.
  • Each white hex must be lit by all three colors of light (including those that already have light bulbs in them).
  • Light travels away from light bulbs in six rays, one each through the six sides of the hex.
  • Light continues in a straight line until it is blocked by a black wall hex.

  • $\begingroup$ 1) "Each white hex must contain either a red, green or blue light bulb" vs 2) "including those that already have light bulbs in them". According to (1) ALL of them have a light bulb in them. What are we excluding? $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 20, 2020 at 9:37
  • $\begingroup$ "Those that already have light bulbs in them" being those that start with light bulbs. That's to clarify that you also need to add the other two colors to hexes that aren't empty to start with. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 20, 2020 at 10:41

This was fun! Here’s how I solved it:

From here, bottom left must be green and the top can also be filled in:

The rightmost must be blue, making two below it green. From there the colours need to alternate, with the bottom being red. We get the solution:
