1) Normal Sudoku

  • Place the digits 1 through 9 once each in every row, column, and box.

2) Snake

  • 2.1) A one cell wide, orthogonal path (diagonal movement not permitted), makes a complete and continuous loop in the grid.
  • 2.2) The path may not touch itself orthogonally, but may touch itself diagonally.

3) Indicating Arrows

  • 3.1) A digit in a cell with an arrow indicates the total number of cells which are part of the path in the direction of the arrow (not counting the cell with the arrow).
  • 3.2) Arrows are permitted to be on the path.
  • 3.3) All cells that could contain an arrow have been given and negative constraints apply.

4) Cages

  • 4.1) The total in the top left of a cage is the sum of all of the digits in the cage that are on the path.
  • 4.2) Digits cannot repeat in a cage.

5) Notes

  • 5.1) This puzzle is fully logical. Absolutely no guessing or bifurcation is required to solve.
  • 5.2) Huge thanks to @rangsk for making the f-puzzles version correct.

Solution code: Please enter the 18 digits, without spaces, of Row 7 followed by Column 8.
