Do you know what time it is? It's time for another ✨ Strange-Shaped Sunday ✨, a day where we're legally obligated to set a genre on a non-standard grid. Today's GAPP is a Cave (Hexagonal), which isn't in Puzzle Ramayan round 5 but it's a variant of Cave, which is in the round. PR R5 is still going, and the otters are still available 🦦. Go get it while you can! https://logicmastersindia.com/live/?contest=PR202405

Rules:
- Shade some cells so that the shaded cells are all connected orthogonally by other shaded cells to the edge of the grid, and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area, the cave.
- Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the total number of unshaded cells that can be seen in a straight line in any of the (up to) six possible directions, including the cell itself.
