Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits on a screw must appear in that exact arrangement, but screws may have to be screwed down a number of rows to a max of when the screw cannot go further. Digits on the screw will move along with the screw like a helix every row it is screwed down.
- Cells separated by a knight's move cannot contain the same digit.
Solution code: Row 1 followed by row 9.
