Puzzle #925: Volume 51
Posted February 28, 2020 • #areafiftyone
In today's variant of Area 51, solve the three puzzles presented on the surfaces of cubes. The 3D aspect of these puzzles throws some extra curveballs on top of the traditional masyu and corral rules in play.

These are beautiful. I look forward to more like them! I think you should make clear in the instructions that the 'line of sight' modification also applies to Masyu clues similar to the Cave clues. I had to restart the middle one several times before I considered that as a possibility.

Thanks for the feedback! There have been other similar comments from puzzlers offsite, so I will likely be updating the instructions as soon as I nail down good verbiage.

Any chance you can drop a hint re. what's ambiguous with the middle one here?
I am now running into the exact same - erroneous state for the third time.

The middle one has a masyu pearl that requires a turn on one side that requires turning along a different axis than the one that's expected.

The middle one is trickier than the other two, at least for me.
