Sometimes however, both directions around the edge are available, and then you have to think about which one eats up too much living room for the other links. If one of the two numbers is not on the border but near, you can often still prove/intuit that the link has to go most of the way along the border, simplifying the rest of the puzzle. | |

| Mar 3, 2017 at 8:19 | comment | added | boboquack | @humn - I think it's better that all cells be filled else we have plenty of good strategies like corner parties not working. | |
