Regiothmetics Yajilin. I need a good name for &#8220;Regiothmetics&#8221;.</p>
<p>Follow usual Yajilin rules (draw a loop and shade all the remaining non-given cells black; black cells may not be adjacent). In addition, there are two types of clues:<br />
&#8211; Blue, no sign, size-12: The number indicates the number of black cells in the region <b>plus</b> in the line of sight (from the arrow following the direction of the arrow up to the edge of the grid). <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Black cells that are in both the region and the line of sight are counted twice.</span><br />
&#8211; Brown, sign (+ or -), size-10: The number indicates the number of black cells in the region <b>minus</b> in the line of sight (from the arrow following the direction of the arrow up to the edge of the grid). <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Black cells that are in both the region and the line of sight cancel each other.</span></p>

<p><strong>UPDATE (20-Nov-2012, 18.36 UTC+7): Fixed Puzzle 34 (R7C1 to make it solvable) and replaced Puzzle 35 (the former is utterly broken).<br />
</strong></p>
<p><em>If you are one of the top three, you get extra points!</em></p>
<p>But seriously. I offer this thing again. Be one of the first three people to submit the correct solutions to both grids, and you get a puzzle as a gift. You can choose the genre and stuffs like that.</p>
<p>Yes, even if you&#8217;re colorblind you should be able to distinguish non-signed givens and signed givens. And their sizes differ by 2 points. Should be sufficient. Although when I add more clue types (possible seeing recent Surveyors Heyawake) I need more non-color cues.</p>
<p>Yay. Did I say today (and yesterday) is one of my most productive blogging and puzzling days ever?</p>
