It seems like while I was gone, Strangely-Shaped Sunday became a series. No matter, time to hound everyone with a Kurarin on a Cairo Pentagonal grid! We at the GAPP team learned of this genre less than a week ago, and we've already made two. I promise there's not an extraction from these two puzzles. Or is there...? No, there's not. But what if...? No! No. There's not.

(Feel free to check out Freddie's regularly-shaped puzzle from earlier this week, if you haven't!)

Rules: Draw a non-branching, non-intersecting loop that moves through the center of some cells, crossing cell edges perpendicularly. Shade the remaining cells. Circle clues indicate the number of shaded cells in the cells the circle overlaps, with black circles indicating that there are more shaded than loop cells, white circles indicating that there are more loop cells than shaded cells,and grey circles indicating an equal number of shaded and loop cells.
