Walkthrough of yesterday's Meidjuluk, as explained by Walker: https://youtu.be/lYdTDoVr02w
Hi everyone! Today's puzzle is a Masyu (Total), an extremely cursed ruleset that I thought might be fun to make for GAPP. I was right-- it was fun to make for GAPP! But-- and this is important-- I never want to see another one ever again for any other purpose. Deal?
Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every circle. The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells on either side. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side.
Variant: All possible black and white circles have been given (i.e. if a cell does not contain a circle, it must not be possible to place a black or white circle in that cell while still following normal Masyu rules).
In this puzzle, all of the circles are white, but the rule on black circles still applies! If you need more information on how those work, search Masyu in: #daily-pencil-puzzles in the Discord search function, and some of those puzzles should set you straight!

Hi everyone! So sorry for the double ping.
The above puzzle has been corrected, and the links in the above post have been updated. It looks quite different to the image presented, though-- I basically had to re-set it from scratch.
The puzzle as originally presented contains a faulty assumption that I and my test solvers missed (that the two circles in column 1 are not on the same line segment), and for that, I am sincerely sorry. Please claim any animals you would like to claim below (and maybe be creative with your choices, if you'd like). Thanks for your patience, and I hope you enjoy the updated puzzle.
If you would like to attempt the original puzzle, it is still unique, just quite hard.
