We make our way out from the underground. Usowan stays behind, giving an enigmatic smile. It feels as though we gained more questions from them than we did answers. As we emerge in the city, I feel my phone vibrate-- must be the reception coming back again. I check the notification on the Chat Room app that the GAPP team uses; it's a series of private messages.

Hey, it's Jovi.

I have a result! I found a place to stay just outside of the Orchard and have been sleeping there. I managed to track down my tree by meticulously mapping everywhere I had explored in the Orchard and counting the fruits on all of the trees before and after solving a puzzle. I had a few false leads, where a fruit appeared as I finished solving. Alas, it never lasted longer than one fruit, so I knew to move on. After three weeks of near-constant searching, I found my tree!

Since then, I have been solving puzzles and taking note of the fruit that grows. I've also been taking copious notes on the puzzles solved: how I've solved them, the logic used, whether I've enjoyed the process of solving, etc. I found something earlier today, which is why I needed to message you.

I performed a perfectly logical solve that produced black fruit. Something fishy is going on. More data is needed. I'll update soon.

Rules: Draw paths through the centers of cells - one starting at each circle and connecting it to a phone - such that every cell is used. Paths may not cross each other or themselves. Each phone must be connected to exactly one white circle and exactly one black circle. A number in a circle indicates how many times its path turns before it reaches a phone

GAPP 101: Some circle clues dont have many ways of reaching a phone cell, especially if they're low values!
