How Did That Get There: A Horse Miracle
(Published on 2. November 2020, 05:58 by jneen)
Rules:
- Anti-knight: no two cells separated by a chess knight's move may contain the same digit
- Windoku: Digits may not repeat in cages
Let me know how the opening goes. It definitely requires some knowledge of Windoku, especially the standard "shadow regions" implied around the cages. Here is an explanation of how these work from Simon Anthony.

EDIT: I assure you this is solvable by a human ><. I've written up the intended logical non-bifurcation solution path here, for those who may have missed the opening trick and bashed their heads against it to no avail (SPOILERS): https://pastebin.com/hCNwrB8P
Solution code: Rows 6 and 9

update title to reflect the nature of the puzzle a little better

puzzle2021 that is a really good observation! and yes, windoku+knight is very tightly constrained - my goal with this puzzle was to guide an actual solver through *finding* the symmetries here - the puzzle definitely doesn't require insight of the full range of the format (which... i would not expect a solver to know without computer help).

Added a link to the solution path.
