In today's edition of Strange-Shaped Sunday we explore the Cairo Pentagonal grid further. Walker brought you an excellent Sukoro last week, in which you had to consider up to 5 neighbouring cells instead of 4 like on a regular, square grid. How about today we balance things out with a loop genre where you will only have to deal with up to 7 surrounding cells instead of the usual 8? Seems fair, right?

Today's puzzle is a Linesweeper!

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some empty cells. Clues represent how many of the (up to) seven cells surrounding the clue are used by the loop.
Note that diagonally touching cells also count towards the clues!
