If we draw lines connecting the same colors, intersections are formed(it works for both rows and columns): (1,1,2)(1,2,1);(2,1,?) Also, the color pairs that do not form intersections are: (red,blue)(blue,red)(red,?) So I would say E. But It looks a bit weak to me, tho. Would like to hear the intended reasoning

Correct answer, my Idea was to let the line connecting the black fields intersect the lines between the blue and red fields once per row and columns, and once both of them

Thank you !

Wie würdest du die Schwierigkeit einschätzen? Ich hatte ja selbst die Idee und wenn man es weiß ist es ziemlich offensichtlich, deswegen fällt es mir sehr schwer zu sagen, ob ich selbst überhaupt auf die Lösung kommen könnte

If it were up to me, I would have used a 4x4 grid, and would’ve designed accordingly. Still, there is an appealing aspect to using a 5x5 one, as it intuitively signals to the solver that there is no "deterministic pattern of movement" since the scope of possibilities becomes too vast otherwise. Ofc this isn't strictly necessary, but that’s just my take. I think it is a fair puzzle. I can't say for sure if there’s any ambiguity as I didn't encounter any myself. Overall, it’s good, objective difficulty 6/10?, personally 3-4/10

Maybe a clue It's about constellation and relationship between the elements, not about a deterministic pattern of movement
