Mysterious Modular Snake
(Published on 10. February 2024, 00:00 by starwarigami)
Please check out the other puzzles in this series:
Come check out the new exhibits at the sudoku variant museum, including a rare antique - the
Given Digit!
A Mysterious Modular snake starts at the centre of the museum (R5C5) and wants to visit every exhibit (Box) exactly once, before leaving the museum through one of the 4 exits (Corners).
The snake consists of a single path of orthogonally connected cells that never touches itself orthogonally (diagonally is fine).
Each three consecutive cells of the snake must contain exactly one digit from each of the modular groups (147), (258), and (369)
Solve the sudoku such that there exists a unique path for the snake through the museum.
All standard variant rules apply.
