Just wanted to add before we start today's GAPP, there's currently a Rassi Silai contest running on LMI as a follow-up to Tapa Train. These puzzles were hand-set by Prasanna Seshadri, and are sure to be absolutely brilliant! Check out this post for more details: Discord message

Well… it had to happen at some point. The memes are no longer dreams!

Today’s GAPP is of a notoriously difficult to parse and unintuitive genre– and I’m here to try to make it as easy to understand as possible with one of our smallest-ever GAPPs. I hope you enjoy this Curve Data!

Rules: Draw lines between the centers of cells so that each connected figure goes through exactly one clue, and all cells are used by a figure. Clues show how their figures turn and connect with themselves, not allowing rotation or reflection, but do not indicate the lengths of the line segments.

This means that some clues (like the G in the example puzzle) could have solutions that look like a reflection / rotation, but are in fact a proper solution of the original clue. It still follows the shape because the segments’ lengths are not specified in the clues themselves.

As always, attached to the image of today’s puzzle is an example puzzle and its solution. Play around with it and see if you can wrap your head around what I detailed in the above paragraph! Solve it here: https://puzz.link/p?curvedata/5/5/q0=1q/b4o340000/3/3/ba85/3/2/e60
