GameCube [Cubic Ring-Ring]
(Published on 12. November 2022, 21:36 by wisty)
Draw rectangular loops through the center of some cells. Rings may only intersect only perpendicularly at their sides; they do not overlap or share corners. All white cells must be connected to a loop and all black cells must not be. Loops cannot pass through dotted fences.
For the purpose of this puzzle, a "rectangular loop" can move from one side of the cube to another, as long as it is continuous and made of only interior right angles. Play this puzzle on Penpa+
Thank you so much everyone who tested this puzzle! And shoutouts to jovi_al for introducing me to ring-ring puzzles, and everyone else who participated in zetamath's pencil puzzle challenge :)
Solution code: the solution code is formatted A-B-C-D, where A, B, C, and D count the number of (2D) tiles taken up by any rings that are on the marked cells
