White dots must be passed through in a straight line, but the loop must turn in the previous and/or the next cell.Black dots must be turned upon and the loop must travel straight through the next and the previous cell.

Excellent puzzle, both with the loop construction and digit-finding! Definitely harder than 2 stars, but very enjoyable nonetheless!
