On my screen that looks like this:
¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡Ð¡Ï
¡@¡@¡@¡@£A¡@¡@¢²¡ý
¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¢÷¡@¡Ï
¡@¡]¢÷¢ì¢ì¡^¡@¡@¡@
¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¢í¡@¡Ï
¡@¡@¡@¡@£A¡@¡@¡@¡@
¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¡Ï¡@¡Ï
Doesn't mean a great deal to me... |

Smart me can't see anything in the weird punctuation. But what can't you see in the puzzle?
Is it that the question mark has to be an x?
I see the regions above and below the 3 on the left must be on opposite sides of the loop. Similarly, the two unknown sides of the other 3 must be opposite sides; thus the 2 must be on the same side of the loop as the square below it. |

Another way to look at the same argument is draw a circle through the 3x3 squares, so it crosses the 4 empty spaces adjacent to the 3s, 3 Xs and the ?. I remember there's a rule mentioned that the number of lines intersecting the circle must be even; so that solves ?. |
