Today's puzzle is dedicated to the SudokuPad user who sat in front of me on Seattle's Route 40 on Tuesday morning.

Rules: Draw a loop by connecting the centers of edge-adjacent cells such that every cell is visited by the loop exactly once, and every thickly outlined region is visited by the loop exactly twice.

Tip: The loop must not use up all of a region's cells on the same visit, but it must use all remaining cells in a region on its second visit.

Tip 2: "Visited exactly twice" is equivalent to "has four exits."
