 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!Quote: | Originally Posted by astrokath Well, I fought my way through May's beast last night.  It was going really well until I got left with a patch just below the top right corner.  Eurgh.  Logic failed me (well, it was gone midnight by then) and I had to resort to brute force.  I'm not very impressed with myself, but I simply couldn't go to sleep on an unfinished puzzle! | 
 Two days until a new Beast arrives...

 | Posted - 2006.06.29 10:39:22 I just finally finished all the availble beasts last night, and man i feel proud!
 my tip is to keep trying, and keep trying but if you get really really really stuck, start again on a new sheet and see if you see anything new the second time around
  Cant wait for the next beast!

 | 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.

 | Posted - 2006.07.01 18:31:36 I got exited about them and I did a lot of them but then I ran out of forced moves and I'm not so exited any more. 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
