Welcome to the month of August! This month, we have an intriguing metagame for you here in GAPP. The rules are simple: for all of August, correctly guess the genre we'll post on the following day, and win a bonus otter. 🦦 Please spoiler tag your guesses!

How? Well, feel free to use any means at your disposal. Maybe check in and see if GAS has any ideas?

Today's GAPP is a Binairo!

Rules: Place a black or white circle into each cell such that no three consecutive cells in any row or column all contain the same color of circle. Each row and column contains the same number of white and black circles. No row or column may contain the same arrangement of circles.

Note that the last rule is used in the example puzzle, but not in the main puzzle. This is because scanning for it on a large scale is absolutely miserable. Solve the example puzzle here if you wish (Penpa+): https://tinyurl.com/2ckj5zqq

Pingping! Mind The GAPP - Volume 9 is here! And in it can be found all 33(!) GAPP puzzles from the month of July. And for the eagle-eyed of you (or elephant-memoried), there is a chance to win a bonus otter.

As always there are a few previously unreleased bonus puzzles near the end of the booklet, which generally vary from GAPP difficulty to a fair bit harder than GAPP.
