Hiya! This marks the 13th consecutive month of providing GAPPs for you every day! I've written a bit more about that in the document itself, but here are all of the puzzles from the month of November, including some slightly trickier bonus puzzles!

As always, time benchmarks and everything are at the end of the document. Freddie will post a puzzle when he wakes up!

Today's puzzle is a Big Core, and was the result of me eating my big apple. As well as hitting the gym for two hours a day three months straight. Actually exactly one of those two is a lie. I eat the apple core too

Rules: Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells, each containing exactly one complete 2x2 area. Borders must separate two different regions.

Note: For simplicity, the example and the GAPP both remain unique upon replacing the word "exactly" with "at least" in the rules.
