@Daily Pencil Puzzle Solver

I woke up this morning in a strange and unfamiliar landscape 🏞️ All my digits are gone and all I've got left are these black ⚫ and white ⚪ circles. It's almost like being in a foreign country 🇳🇱

Today's GAPP is a Dutch Loop!

Rules: Draw a single closed loop that passes through all cells of the grid. The loop must turn on black circles and go straight through white circles.

You can familiarise yourself with the rules and the interface with the example puzzle - https://tinyurl.com/yw459x2d

One tip you might find useful is being able to mark edges that are definitely not crossed by the loop with an X. In the default linex input mode, this can be achieved by clicking on the edge.

Once you're ready to tackle the main puzzle:

For a speedy sloth, finish within 4:00 🦥
For a quick crab, finish within 10:00 🦀
All other solvers will earn this beautiful Lost Labrador Duck 🐦
