Throughout time artists have been enamored by the simple circle 🟣 From Georges Seurat's impressive medium of pointillism, to Yayoi Kusama's infinite polka dot installations, the abundance of spots is a wonderful technique for abstraction, and a way to get lost in circles in your mind. Another way to get the mind to wander is through puzzling! Today's GAPP, while very dotty and certainly loopy, should be predominantly a brief moment of reverie ☺️

It's a Dotchi Loop!

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every white circle and no black circles. Within a region, the loop must either turn on every white circle or pass straight through every white circle.
Our customary example puzzle may help to understand this better, dot down some notes by looking at the right-hand side of the image or by solving it yourself!

Solving in 2:00 or less is quite frankly dotty, and impressive! Deserving of the Speedy Sloth 🦥
You'd have to be loopy to get it done in 5:45 or less either! This time gets the Quick Crab 🦀
And everyone with any level of sanity who can get it solved at all, gets the Spotted Owlet 🐦
