or solve online<\/a> (using our beta test of Penpa-Edit tools)<\/p>\n

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

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 44th puzzle from our contributing puzzlemaster John Bulten.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Shade some white cells black so that exactly one of the grid\u2019s clues appears in each contiguous white or black region and indicates the clued region\u2019s area. Circled numbers indicate cells that must remain white.<\/p>\n

Also see this example:<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Answer String:<\/b> Enter the length in cells of each of the black segments from left to right for the marked rows. Separate each row’s entry from the next with a comma.<\/p>\n

Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Grandmaster = 4:30, Master = 7:45, Expert = 15:30<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b> Answers for this week in this PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Light is John Bulten\u2019s variation of the shading puzzle Light and Shadow, created by Serkan Yu\u0308rekli. Unlike Light and Shadow, where all numbered cells start white or black, in Light puzzles the numbered cells that are not shaded or circled may be either white or black in the solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
