Designing a Pathmaker

The object of the puzzle is to join all towers into a single closed loop, while obeying these rules:

• All pipes must connect up correctly to adjacent squares
• You may only have one pipe segment per square, i.e. you cannot have a "cross" pipe.
• Pipes on a square with a blue tower must be straight.
• Pipes on a square with a red tower must be a 90 degree bend.
• One of the pipes connected immediately adjacent to a blue tower must be a 90 degree bend. (Note: the rules only require one of the two to be a bend, but both can be bends if you like).
• The two pipes connected immediately adjacent to a red tower must be straight.

The Pathmaker will not let you place pipes that violate these rules.

• Once you are satisfied with your design, you can open it to the public.

Notes

• Sometimes there is more than 1 way to solve a puzzle.
• You must solve your own puzzle first before you Open it for Judging.
