Slitherlink Liars by Phistomefel
Added 2022-04-01 19:31:00 +0000 UTCHere it is - the new Phistomefel puzzle and my goodness this is NOT easy!!
Play it at the link below:

Rules: Draw a single closed loop along the grid lines in the grid. It may not touch or cross itself. Some of the numbers in the grid are “touching slitherlink” clues and indicate how often the loop touches the cell containing the clue. Some numbers are liars and don't provide a valid touching slitherlink clue. Every region has exactly one such liar. The regions are the connected sets that are separated by the loop.
Here is Simon's (lengthy!!) solve video:

Definitely have a close read of the rules before trying this one! I interpreted what "touching" meant incorrectly, and had a very bad time. It's not the number of edges of the cell containing loop.
2022-04-05 02:56:08 +0000 UTCThe puzzle link is broken, in that when you import it into the Sven's SudokuPad app, the 0 in the top left disappears. Is that fixable?

2022-04-01 19:48:17 +0000 UTCI don't think you ever posted a solution video from last month's monthly rewards puzzle hunt. I'd appreciate it as I solved the 3 puzzles but not the final meta puzzle.
