Yeah doesn't make sense.  Basically from the wording you have red, green, pink in the bottom row odd columns because: red and pink are in the corners of the same row, pink only appears on the bottom row, orange and blue have to be in the odd columns and you can't have orange on top of green except in an odd column. Basically the bottom row has to be r/p ? g ? r/p which then eliminates both blue and orange from being on the bottom row and pink can't be on the top row.  Which gives you 3 colors that are single.

The r/p/g/r/p is where I'm confused.

You say, "12 causes it to be R2C1 or R2C5 and that means red is in the empty spot R2C1 or R2C5"

So pick one of those corners for each color, then deal with ||| R2C2 or R2C4 <-- they don't need to be red or pink, necessarily.

Maybe the connected/mirrored column clue is causing confusion? Basically means two columns that are side by side (like 1 and 2 for example) are mirrored, so- if R1C1 was Orange, then R2C2 would be Orange, and if R1C2 was green, then R2C1 would be green.

Like that.

if R1C1 was Orange, then R2C2 would be Orange, and if R1C2 was green, then R2C1 would be green. You can't do that because orange and blue have to be in odd columns.

in R2C1 and R2C5 one is pink and the other is red. which is which corner is moot.

Right, I gave an example that was wrong in order to avoid spoilers, but the rules are still true.

R1C1 and R2C2 would be the same, just as R1C2 and R2C1 would be the same. <--- this is assuming the connected columns are 1 and 2, which I'm not saying is true because again, I'm not posting spoilers.

There's only one solution, so I'm surprised you're saying which corner pink and red belong in is moot. It's definitely not moot!

Figured it out.  But the pink and red statement is a bit misleading and turned out to be the root of confusion.
