Tragically, Bobbins is no longer working in the Bonsai industry, after a fatal pruning error cost him the WBC (World Bonsai Championship, duh) title. We tried to reach out to him only to be met with the reply "You are disturbing me. I am picking mushrooms." Fortunately his two former protégés, Goodness and Gracious, are here to help. Goodness is a man of quality over quantity - he tends to his trees daily but only plants them in a third of the greenhouses. Gracious plants trees in every greenhouse but frequently forgets about them, letting them overgrow and become asymmetrical! Can you help this dynamic duo achieve their goal in this SUPERSIZED Heyabon?

Rules: Move some circles so that the positions of the circles in each region have 180° rotational symmetry around the region’s center. Each region must contain at least one circle. A circle may move only in one straight line vertically or horizontally. Circles’ paths may not cross each other, other circles, or other circles’ starting points. Circles containing clues must be moved exactly the indicated number of cells.

What, another GAPP 101?? Don't worry, this one is pretty short.

GAPP 101: each region must contain at least one circle. But actually you can say each half of a region must contain at least one circle!
