I finally finished this puzzle today!! Only took me nearly two weeks......... every so often I'd have another look at it, and occasionally spot something I hadn't seen before. I had to use some interesting logic in places, working out which lines had to join to each other, even if I didn't know exactly how they would, to help solve it - especially in that last tricky bit below the top right corner!
Two days until a new Beast arrives... |

astrokath Kwon-Tom Obsessive Puzzles: 3258 Best Total: 13m 42s | Posted - 2006.07.01 12:18:31 I worked through July this morning - there were quite a few spots where I had to think pretty carefully, but it was a fair bit easier to complete than March and April's were. |

Now I have this pile of unfinished beasts and I look at one or two every now and then hoping I can see something I didn't see before.
Hey brits and English fans: tough luck with Portugal! By the way what's up with Rooney? |

He's an angry young man. It was bound to happen, to be honest.
Mind you, some of the acting on the Portuguese side - gold statuettes all round there... |

Highlight and copy the string of characters and manually paste it into the Game ID accessed via File>Specific in Loopy. Loading is used for games saved in Loopy, not for the puzzle input strings |
