I'm kind of lost for where my box is on the upper right corner. I don't know how to model the 20v Vsource as a current... can you even do that? I've done the other nodes, though I'm not particularly sure yet.

Hmm.. I'm having second doubts. Is the connection between the V3 and V1 one single node or is there another node in the middle (near that big blob of dot that I have there.. above the second 1k resistor from the left)?

No it's the same as the V3 node.

You have missed out the (v3-v1)/1k current when you took the KCL on supernode 3-4. Apart from that, due the to 20V source, node 4 and the reference node will form a supernode, hence you'd have a (super-)supernode 3-4-ref.

Try again.

Wait... I thought I put that down? It's the first term when I start writing my KCL equation for the supernode.

I see. You're right. I completely forgot about having a super-super-node!!

Whoops. I meant the (v3-v2)/1k current.
