[PAC] Masyu Masyu Yin Yin Yang Yang

This is the corrected version of my entry for round 2 of the Puzzle Agency Championship, hosted by Agent. In this round, the prompt was to create a puzzle that involved cloning a 3x3 portion of the grid.

Rules:
Every circle clue acts as a Yin Yang clue and/or a Masyu clue. A circle may end up being a valid clue for both puzzle types, but is only required to be valid for one of the puzzle types. It is up to the solver to determine which circles act as Yin Yang clues and which act as Masyu clues.

Yin Yang: Shade some cells such that all shaded cells are orthogonally connected, all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected, and no 2x2 area is fully shaded or fully unshaded. A black Yin Yang circle clue indicates that cell is shaded. A white Yin Yang circle clue indicates that cell is unshaded.

Masyu: Draw a single continuous non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every Masyu clue. The loop must turn on black Masyu circle clues, and must travel straight through the cells on either side. The loop must go straight through white Masyu circle clues, and must turn in at least one of the cells on either side.

Interaction: The Masyu loop must alternate passing through shaded and unshaded cells. In other words, for every pair of adjacent cells on the Masyu loop, one is shaded and the other is unshaded.

Clones: The two 3x3 areas outlined by dotted lines are clones of each other without rotation or reflection. Both the Yin Yang shading and Masyu loop segments must be identical between the two 3x3 areas.




Penpa+


Lösungscode: For each row (top to bottom), the number of shaded cells in that row that the Masyu loop enters.
