Walkthrough for yesterday's Utopia as explained by Walker: https://youtu.be/qEo9W7nYlRIa

Have you ever solved a puzzle so beautiful that it fundamentally changed the way you viewed puzzles? Have you ever solved something and thought "wow, I really wish that I set that"? Have you ever solved a puzzle a dozen or more times just to try to learn everything you possibly can from it? Has that puzzle ever been a GAPP for you? For me, it has. This Icelom by Freddie Hand is easily my favorite GAPP ever, and is one of my favorite puzzles of all time: Archive: Tuesday, 9 August 2022

Today's GAPP was created in tribute to it! I don't think I'm able to match the level of magic that Freddie's from last August had, but I hope this puzzle is still enjoyable enough! Let's take today to celebrate all of the puzzles that changed our lives, opened our minds to new ways of thinking, or made us laugh!

Rules: Draw a path that moves orthogonally through the centers of some cells, entering the grid at the “IN” marking and exiting at the “OUT” marking. All non-icy cells must be visited, and all cells containing numbers must be visited in strictly increasing order. Two perpendicular line segments may intersect each other only on icy cells, but they may not turn at their intersection or otherwise overlap. The path may not turn on icy cells.
