Whoa, it's the Blue Prince number!
I'm currently in the airport and don't want to think about any blog posts tomorrow, so just like last time, this one is being posted early. Today's genre is Kurarin, the newest genre in the Spotlight series! It debuted in this month's Nikoli issue but it has caught on somewhat quickly compared to most other Omopa. My personal take is that this is a more enjoyable form of Vertex Slitherlink; while the latter allows for more precise cluing, I prefer the presentation of Kurarin, and the fact that some clues are more ambiguous leads to some interesting surprises.
Rules: Shade some cells and draw a non-intersecting loop through all remaining cells. Black circles indicate there are more shaded than unshaded cells among the cells the circle overlaps. White circles indicate more unshaded cells. Grey circles indicate the amount of shaded and unshaded cells is equal.
Both puzzles today are easier than my typical fare, again because I'm writing them in an airport Starbucks. For more difficult puzzles, check out this puzzle from myself or this one from Leaving Leaves.
