STAGE CLUE

The type of puzzle is "Masyu" or Pearl. The goal is to draw a single continuous non-intersecting loop that properly passes through all circled cells. The loop must "enter" each cell it passes through from the center of one of its four sides and "exit" from a different side; all turns are therefore 90 degrees. The two varieties of circles have differing requirements for how the loop must pass through them: White circles must be traveled straight through, but the loop must turn in the previous and/or next cell in its path; Black circles must be turned upon, but the loop must travel straight through the next and previous cells in its path.
