No two pentominoes can overlap or be orthogonally adjacent, and all cells not occupied by the pentominoes must be traversed by a single, closed loop (connecting cells horizontally or vertically). The black circles indicate some cells that must be covered by pentominoes, white circles indicate spaces that may not be contained in pentominoes and must be part of the loop. <\/p>\n<p>Also see this example:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gmpuzzles.com\/images\/puzzles\/180720-StatueParkLoop-Example.png\" alt=\"Statue Park (Loop) by Serkan Y\u00fcrekli\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Answer String:<\/b> Enter the length in cells of the horizontal loop segments from left to right in the marked rows, starting at the top.
