Puzzle 42 - Pearls of Wisdom 6 (Total)
IMPORTANT: This puzzle is a variant on the normal Pearls of Wisdom puzzles. In this puzzle, any grid cell which could legally contain a pearl has one. If a grid cell does not have a pearl, it MAY NOT follow the rules for black or white pearls. This variant comes from motris (Thomas Snyder). Any variant puzzles will have their name in parenthesis after the puzzle name/number, so watch out for those in the future.

Rules - Pearls of Wisdom
Pearls of Wisdom was invented by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli. The name comes from mathgrant (surprise, surprise).
1. Draw a single loop that connects the centers of the grid cells.
2. The loop may only travel horizontally or vertically, not diagonally (so all turns are right angles).
3. The loop may only turn at the centers of the grid cells.
4. The loop may not cross itself or branch off.
5. The loop must pass through every pearl (circle) on the grid.
6. The loop may not turn at a white pearl, but must turn at at least one of the adjacent cells in the loop.
7. The loop must turn at a black pearl, but may not turn at both of the adjacent cells in the loop.
5. The loop must pass through every pearl (circle) on the grid.
6. The loop may not turn at a white pearl, but must turn at at least one of the adjacent cells in the loop.
7. The loop must turn at a black pearl, but may not turn at both of the adjacent cells in the loop.
