We are aware of this. We added both the possible answer keys that come from it, and we aren't giving a disclaimer because it is the main competition and we want everyone to approach it with the same knowledge base.

I feel it's a bit of a lapse to not have included the general Night and Day rules in the puzzle booklet. It currently doesn't really state anywhere in the puzzle booklet that different loops can only cross when they visit the same cells.

We agree that it would have been helpful to include the beginning paragraph into the PB. Sorry for not thinking this through enough.

Craig: I really enjoyed this round of puzzles - even though I had to restart a few of them several times until I could break out of old single-loop-puzzle habits. Really fun and unique to solve. Thanks!
