Sometimes when making a puzzle, you just plop down a nice pattern of clues to see if you can build a puzzle around it. And sometimes you get lucky and already have a (mostly) working puzzle at that point. Such as today's Koburin.

Koburin has appeared before on GAPP:

- Jovi: Archive: Saturday, 10 December 2022 (supersized)
- Jovi: Archive: Saturday, 1 April 2023 (supersized, as part of her April Fools trippel)

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all the remaining empty cells. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells orthogonally adjacent to it.

Score a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving the puzzle in 1:45 or less!

Finish the puzzle in your own time to become the proud owner of a Counting Congo Peafowl 🐦!
