(Published on 4. December 2022, 02:49 by dmcdouga)
Rules
- Normal Sudoku Rules Apply - Place the digits 1 to 9 (once each) in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Anti-Knight - Cells that are a knight's move away cannot contain the same digit
- Kropki Dots - White dots connect consecutive digits. Black dots connect digits with a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are given.
- Super-Snake - Consider each 3x3 box as a 'super-cell' in which lies a length-9 'super-snake' (which is to be determined by the solver).
The super-snake must move orthogonally, i.e., it only turns at 90-degree angles or goes straight. (Since the super-snake has length 9, it will visit each box exactly once.)
- Killer Cages - Each box contains a Killer Cage with an unknown sum. These sums form a sequential sequence {N, N+1, ... , N+8} that correspond to where the super-snake lies (i.e., The largest sum is at the head, the smallest sum is at the tail, and the other sums are sequential along the snake's body). The value of N is to be determined by the solver.
- Common Digits - Also, every Killer Cage in the puzzle share 2 digits in common with each other, i.e., these 2 digits will only be found inside killer cages.
