Your slitherlinks have been taking some sneaky routes lately Gareth!

I know it's valid, but is it wanted? At one point I made a decision, based on this observation: If I don't do it like this, it causes an ambiguity.
So I'm using the fact that the puzzle has a unique(!) solution to solve it.
(I don't know whether I made myself clear here...)
There might be puzzles where you have to do it like this (if you want to solve it logically step by step) - but is this kind of procedure within the intented difficulty level on this page, Gareth?

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
