I can hear Steve Martin singing softly in the background. :)

I've tried this from scratch 4 times now. Even with hints, I've been unable to find a solution. I'm sure it's solvable as some above have mentioned that they've done so, but for me it remains completely unsolvable. Looks like it would be a great puzzle if not for the extremely high difficulty.

Only if you have the information given by the title of the puzzle: there is only one solution.

Given the symmetry of the clues, we know that the mirror image of any solution must be a solution. So if there is only one solution, then it must be symmetric, because it must be its own mirror image.

A wonderful image and once I knew it was symmetric, the solve went nicely

solved,due to the symmetry
