27:05.Very tough puzzle
Couldn’t get going with this one at all and I usually like Slitherlink. Any pointers or walkthrough welcome.
Here is a picture of my first few steps. The hardest observation may be the line in red. As a result of placing it (it must be true whichever way the 23 above wraps because of the 1), you can place the lines in blue. This now is a fun place to start the puzzle again and figure out how to finish it. Still somewhat challenging.
Thanks for helping me past my block. The rest of the puzzle flowed very nicely.
