Shogun? I used to dream of bein’ a shogun. That woulda been royalty t’ us.

Uh, Philip, shogun basically were royalty.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis…

That’s King Arthur.

You were lucky t’ to have education. We used to learn our history...

Not historical, King Arthur.

...in a corridor! Well when I say corridor it was only a hole in t' ground. A corridor woulda been like the Taj Mahal to us. But we were evicted from our hole in the ground, we had to go live in a lake!

Like the Lady of the Lake?

Aye. I had to get up in t' morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went t' bed…

No you didn’t. You barely post GAS on time.

But you try and tell the young people today that… and they won’t believe ya’.

You’ve had a bit too much Chateau de Chassilier, haven’t you.

NyQuil, actually. Aye, you were lucky to have Chateau de Chassilier...

Today's GAPP is a Taj Mahal! Just like last year! What can I say, I like squares.

Rules:

Draw straight lines connecting pairs of grid points to form squares (allowing non-orthogonal lines). Squares may only touch at the corners, and all squares must form one connected network. Circles mark the centers of all squares drawn in the grid. A number in a circle represents how many other squares its square shares a corner with.

Note: In order to draw lines in the software, click on a circle and drag to a grid point - the software will draw the entire square at once. (To change a square after it is drawn, just click the circle and drag again.)
