Rules:
- Shade some cells such that no closed loops exist among the shaded cells (not even a 2x2).
- A clue indicates the number of cells in the shortest path of shaded cells that visits all of those touched by the clue.
- A zero clue cannot overlap any shaded cells.
- An infinity (∞) clue overlaps two shaded cells that do not have a valid path between them.

GAPP 101: Clues greater than 3 must always be surrounded by a checkerboard, with the two shaded cells connected by a path of the indicated length.
