Friday Puzzles #230

Chronological order is overrated.  For the week before last's puzzle, I thought I'd introduce all my dearest readers to the wonderful puzzle that is curve data.  I'll try and write up a rigorous version of the rules soon, however part of the beauty of this puzzle is just how intuitive it is, so I'm sure you'll all soon work out what is going on.

Re uniqueness, this seems to be a bit like numberlink for me, so perhaps bear with me on some future puzzles.  I'm pretty confident these are all good though!

The first puzzle is a somewhat narcissitic-yet-trivial example - although hopefully it clarifies exactly what you are supposed to do with loops.

    #268 Curve Data – rated (stupidly) easy

 

Maybe this next one isn't quite a medium, but seeing as it's the first one for the blog I'm going to relax my strict regime just this once!

EDIT: A previous version had rather more solutions than I thought.  This one I think is unique!
2nd EDIT: It isn't!  Back to the drawing board... :)
3rd EDIT: I got someone to test solve this first :p
