Puzzletober 2025: Pierce
The first floor of the hotel includes a lounge, a dining room, a kitchen, an event room, and a bathroom with several showers, sinks, and stalls. The newcomer notices that the green-painted walls on each side of a certain section of hallway are riddled with holes. "Quite large for bullet holes," he says. Blaise replies, "Those are from arrowheads. Roger Tell, the bowman, was trying to show off his skills by firing arrows at a fly when one of the shots just punctured the wall." Blaise starts chuckling, but nonetheless recounts, "So then, he put an apple in another room with these two walls between them and just, sorry, he just..." Now Roger himself joins in the laughter. "He just kept firing arrows through the walls! He did manage to pierce the apple, mind you, but it took so many attempts. I swear, this whole place is made of drywall."
Rules: Draw some arrows in the grid such that every unshaded cell contains part of an arrow. Arrows are defined as lines that travel vertically or horizontally through some cells without turning. Every arrow must have an arrowhead on one side of it; two arrowheads must not be adjacent. Numbers reveal the amount of other arrows that the arrow it's on points toward in the direction of the arrowhead. Arrows may pass through the shaded walls, but neither end of any arrow can be within a wall cell.
