** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Last Saturday we took a brief hiatus from doing non-sudoku puzzles on Saturdays in order to celebrate the 80th birthday of Aad van de Wetering. This Saturday, pencil puzzles return with a bang as Simon tackles Math Pesto's incredible Modular Fillomino! This is a very long video but we really have to commend Math Pesto on the sheer variety of logic included in this puzzle. It is, quite honestly, fantastic.

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Fillomino: Divide the grid into polyominoes so that polyominoes of the same size don't share an edge. Each cell contains a number equal to its polyomino's size. Draw a loop that moves orthogonally from one cell to another through the grid. The loop must not touch itself orthogonally; however, it can touch diagonally. Along the loop, any three consecutive cells must contain numbers congruent to 0 mod 3, 1 mod 3, and 2 mod 3. (In other words, one of the numbers is from the set {3, 6, 9, 12, …}, one is from {1, 4, 7, 10, …}, and one from {2, 5, 8, 11, …}. Numbers on cells with arrows refer to the total amount of loop cells seen in the indicated direction or, if more than one arrow, in the directions combined.
