Rules:<\/b> Standard Masyu<\/a> rules. Also, the loop must make the same number of turns in each bold region that it enters. It is up to you to determine how many turns this is. Be sure to count all turns, including turns in black circles. (The loop does not necessarily enter all regions.)<\/p>\n

Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Grandmaster = 6:30, Master = 8:30, Expert = 17:00<\/span><\/p>\n
