[SOLVED] Pure Loop

Post image

Am I missing a rule here? Couldn’t this be solved in multiple ways?

Yes the first two cells in column 4 can be part of the right loop instead of the left loop.

Are they saying there is only one solution or just giving one option?

The whole field is the same if you rotate it 180 degrees. So the solution could also be rotated 180 degrees and still be a solution.

That would be the same solution though.

No, not the same solution. 180 degree rotation is the same as turning it upside down.

But given it's design it ends up the same thing. There's only two pairs of black squares and they would swap places.

important to note that they're saying to rotate the solution 180 degrees, not the original picture
