Theme:<\/b> Logic<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Variation on Masyu<\/a> and Battleships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Normal Masyu rules. Also, all cells not used by the loop must contain ships from the indicated Battleships fleet, and all ships must be placed. Ships cannot touch each other, even diagonally. All of the given clues are Masyu clues (and none are submarines).<\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> For each row from top to bottom, enter the number of the first column from the left where a ship segment appears. If the row is empty, enter 0. Enter these numbers as a single string with no separators. (This is normal Battleships answer entry.)<\/p>\n
